The Pole won the game, which was canceled on Monday evening due to rain in the middle of the fourth set, 2: 6, 7: 6 (7: 2), 3: 6, 6: 3, 6: 3. The game is scheduled for the second game on Center Court, probably around 5 p.m. Swiss time.
The only duel so far with Hurkacz, who celebrated his greatest success in April with the title at the Masters 1000 tournament in Miami, was clearly won by Federer in Indian Wells in 2019. The Pole is in the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam tournament for the first time and has declared himself to be a real “fan” of the Swiss.
“He was a great inspiration,” revealed the tall 24-year-old. “It’s very special what he’s achieved. He’s just a good guy and a great personality.” Still, he made up his mind not to be too nervous. (sda)
