Court number one in Tokyo Unlike the center court, it is not covered. This is where the problem comes in. The more so that typhoon Nepartak reached Japan from the Pacific on Tuesday. The forecasts predict not only violent gusts of wind, but also heavy rainfall. And everything turned out to be true. Unfortunately: rainfall may not even hinder the match Hurkacz with Brady, as many as in the earlier game on court number one between Diego Schwartzman and Tomas Machac. And this may affect the time of the Pole’s match.

The Argentinean and the Czech are scheduled to be on court number one at 11am local time. The current forecasts of the Japan Metorological Agency predict then the probability of rain at 50%. An hour later, already at 70 percent. If these forecasts are confirmed, the game of Hurkacz will probably be postponed to a later hour. Or moved to the central court, although it may turn out to be more difficult, as there are four games scheduled there on Tuesday.
Two hours before the competition, Hubert Hurkacz was not able to say whether his match would take place as planned.
Hubert Hurkacz is fighting for the third round at the Olympic Games.
Hurkacz was supposed to have a more difficult journey in the first round of the Olympic tournament in Tokyo, but his original rival Marton Fucsovics withdrew just before the match started. Hungary was replaced by Luke Saville, who did not cause the Pole any problems (2: 6, 4: 6). Liam Broady (142. ATP), whom the Pole will meet in the second round, was defeated by Francisco Cerundolo in his first match (7: 5, 6: 7, 6: 2).
Hurkacz only singles matches left at the Olympic Games in Tokyo. In doubles, he lost in the first round with £ ukasz Kubot to the German pair: Alexander Zverev – Jan-Lenard Struff (2: 6, 6: 7). On Monday, however, Iga Świętek was eliminated from the tournament. Polka lost to Paul Badosa (3: 6, 6: 7), but at the Olympics she still has to compete in the mix with Kubot.
