THE PREDICTION
World number 10 Hubert Hurkacz played one of the best matches of his erratic season on Friday, ousting tournament favourite Nick Kyrgios in three tight sets. The 25-year-old also beat Kyrgios on his way to the Halle Open title back in June and he looks a reasonable new favourite for the Canada Masters title as the only remaining player with a title at this level from last season’s Miami Open. World number seven Casper Ruud will have plenty to say about that, though, as runner-up in Miami this season and more recently a Grand Slam finalist from Roland-Garros, in which he beat Hurkacz in four sets in the round of 16. The 23-year-old blasted past Felix Auger-Aliassime on Friday, conceding just three games to the home hopeful, in the kind of blistering performance he can conjure from nowhere at this level.
Hurkacz’s three matches so far have seen three tight sets with tiebreaks in each of them, five over three matches in fact, and his route to the Men’s Doubles semi-finals has also seen at least one tiebreak per match. Therefore, taking the Pole to win at least a set and for at least one tiebreak in the match looks a useful combination here in lieu of picking a winner form this likely thriller. Three sets and at least one tiebreak would be a far riskier option but there is plenty of potential here.
