   Points won by each set: | 24-29, 40-35, 41-34 |
   Points won directly behind the serve:
   44 % Hurkacz – 44 of 98
   41 % Kyrgios – 44 of 105

   # Hurkacz [12] generally struggles to turn around matches as he’s close to lose them, but that time it wasn’t a problem for him as he survived in two consecutive sets being relatively close to leave the court as a loser (five points away in 2nd and three points away in 3rd set). Super short match with this scoreline (2 hours 4 minutes) because they both play with exceptionally fast pace on their serves. Hurkacz led 4:3* (30/0) in the opener when he lost his serve and he hadn’t problems to hold another 12 times. The crucial point of the match came at 4:3 for Hurkacz in the deciding tie-break when the block-return of the Pole landed in [65] Kyrgios’ forehand corner forcing his error. The following day Hurkacz easily outplays Medvedev improving his H2H record to 3:2 against the higher ranked Russian.

   Hurkacz’s route to his 5th title:
   1 Maxime Cressy 6-4, 4-6, 6-4
   2 Ugo Humbert 7-6(5), 6-3
   Q Felix Auger-Aliassime 7-6(2), 7-6(4)
   S Nick Kyrgios 4-6, 7-6(2), 7-6(4)
   W Daniil Medvedev 6-4, 6-1

   Serve & volley: Hurkacz 2/2, Kyrgios 1/1
