Hurkacz plays for the first time in his career in the Masters main draw in Rome. Last year he tried his hand at qualifying here, but lost to Miomir Kechmanovic. Now the Polander is ranked 31-st in the ATP ranking, so he got into the main draw directly. Hubert’s first match in this competition was not easy. Briton Evans resisted Hurkacz. As a result, the representative of Poland had to play three sets. He won the victory with a score of 6-3, 3-6, 7-5. Prior to that, the representative of Poland played in Kitzb?hel, Austria, where he lost in the second round to Maximilian Marterer (4-6, 1-6).
Last season Metz managed to gain a foothold in the French Premier League. In 28 rounds “Messina” won eight victories and ten draws, which brought the final 34 points and 15-th position in the standings. In the preparation for the new championship, the “dark burgundy” won 5 out of 7 control matches, but guests failed the start of League1. Two losses at the start with the same score (1:0) against AS Monaco and Lille sent the team to the bottom of the standings. Wagner, Kaby and Traore will not be able to take part in this game.
