Hubert Hurkacz

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).

Andrey Rublev

Strange, but the last time in Rome Rublev played back in 2015. By the way, then the Russian took part in the qualification and could not overcome it, losing to Thomas Fabbiano. This time Andrey has all chances to improve his results, as he got into the main draw directly.

Before the Masters in the capital of Italy, Rublev successfully performed at the US Open. In New York, Andrei reached the quarterfinals, where he lost to compatriot Medvedev in three sets. Thanks to this result, he climbed to 12-th place in the world rankings.

The transition from hard to clay did not particularly affect the Russian's game. In the first round here, he confidently beat the Argentinean Bagnis (6-4, 6-4).
