Hubert Hurkacz vs Alexander Shevchenko Prediction: Who will turn out to be stronger?

Prediction for the ATP Marseille match which will take place on February 7. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Hurkacz was one of the most prominent figures at the start of the season. At the team tournament, Hubert reached the finals as a national team member, where he lost to Zverev. In Melbourne, the Pole played five matches and reached the quarter-finals, where he lost in five sets to Medvedev, the future finalist. Before the match against the Russian, Hurkacz had knocked out Jasika, Menszyk, Umber, and Cazeau. On the second of February, he beat Uzbek Fomin in two games.

For Shevchenko, the tournament in Marseille is already the second one of the season. Last week Alexander played three matches in Montpellier, where he beat Svrcina and Barrera, but was weaker than Alexander Bublik, the future winner of the competition. In Marseille, Shevchenko has one win over world number 126, Bonzi, 7:6, 6:4. The match against the Frenchman lasted an hour and 26 minutes; Shevchenko made seven aces with four double faults, won 75 percent of points on first serve and 57 percent on second serve.

In this pair, we are on the side of the outsider. Hurkacz started the season very well, and brought a lot of points in the national team; in Melbourne, he achieved four wins and gave a real fight to Medvedev, but the Pole did not play at the Indoors in 2024, and Shevchenko has already played four matches at two tournaments, three of which he won. Plus, the only personal meeting between the guys, though won by the Pole, in a completely equal fight; besides, for the last season, Shevchenko has added a lot in skill. So our choice is Alexander Shevchenko.
