He later admitted that his inability to make a dent in the Canadian’s serve had led to him trying something different in return games on OWL Arena after an absorbing one hour, 47 minutes.
Hurkacz revealed in a post-match press conference that he kept guessing wrong in the middle of the second set and that he had to take a different approach to win one of his toughest matches.
