Hubert Hurkacz vs Roberto Bautista Agut Prediction: Believing in a Higher Ranked One

Prediction for the ATP Rotterdam match, which will take place on February 14th. Roberto Bautista-Agut is an uncomfortable opponent for Gurkac. The Pole has never beaten the Spaniard, although the guys met three times on the tour. Despite this, bookmakers are on the side of the Polish athlete, who sits higher in the ATP ranking. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The last time we saw Hurkacz was at the Australian Open, where he made it to the fourth round but lost to American Korda in five games. Before that, Hubert knocked off Martinez Portero, Sonego, and Shapovalov. Three of the four matches he played in Melbourne were five-set matches. It should be noted that Hurkacz won two indoors in his career - the Challenger in Brest and the ATP Metz.

Like Hubert, Roberto got to the fourth round of AO-2023, knocking out Sousa, Holt, and Murray, but lost to Paul in four sets. After the Australian Open, Roberto Bautista Agut played a match at a tournament in Montpelier, where he fell behind Frenchman Fils. However, in the track record of Bautista Agut, one indoor won back in 2016. The Spaniard took the tournament in Sofia. On the hard court, Roberto was a regular triumphant, but not indoors.

Bautista Agut has an excellent record on the hard court. Roberto is one of the few Spaniards better on hard than on clay, but the indoors are more difficult for him than the open ones. Serving is more critical indoors than on the open court, and if Hubert can get the ball in and out, he'll get the advantage. At the same time, we wonder if Hubert will have an easy match. The Spaniard is an uncomfortable opponent for Hurkacz, which is proved by the statistics of personal meetings.
