Head to Head: 3-0
In their three meetings before, the 20-times Grand Slam champion Djokovic has never lost a match against Hurkacz to lead the head to head record 3-0. The 35-year-old Serb will take on the 25-year-old from Poland tomorrow at the quarterfinals of the Madrid Open for their fourth encounter.
Prediction
The three-time Madrid Open champion Novak Djokovic was due to face Andy Murray for the 36th time in the last 16 but unfortunately, the Briton had to pull off due to a stomach injury.
Hubert Hurkacz opened his tennis season by reaching the semifinals of the ATP Cup before losing to Roberto Bautista Agut of Spain. He then reached the same level at Dubai Tennis Championships losing to Russian Andrey Rublev at by Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz at Miami Open. In his previous competition, he progressed to the quarterfinals losing to Grigor Dimitrov. Quite a good progress so far for Hurkacz.
On the other hand, Novak previously reached the final on clay in Serbia as his best result so far this season having participated in only three tournaments before, and the Serbian has finally gained his form back. His desire to do well at French Open is motivating him to give the best results ahead of the Grand Slam. The player from the Big three has experience over the Polish professional.
The pick of the No. 1 ATP ranked Djokovic against No. 14th ranked Hurkacz. Novak this season has a win-loss record of 20-7 while Hurkacz has 6-3. The Serb is 6-1 on clay while Hurkacz is 4-2.
