Hurbert Hurkacz will begin defending his title against Dominic Thiem in the 2022 Moselle Open’s second round on Thursday after receiving a bye in the first round.
Hurkacz has had a good season thus far, but there have also been some difficult losses. He led Poland to the ATP Cup semifinals, but lost in the opening round of the Australian Open. The 25-year-old started the claycourt season off with successive quarterfinal losses in Rome but won in Monte Carlo and Madrid. At the Halle Open, Hurkacz won his first championship of the year. He failed to meet expectations at Wimbledon, losing in the opening round. The Pole later advanced to the Canadian Open final but fell to Pablo Carreno. Hurkacz was defeated by Ilya Ivashka in the second round of the US Open and was unable to advance.
Thiem arrived at the Moselle Open after placing second in the Rennes Challenger, where he faced Richard Gasquet in the opening round. In the first set, the French player took an early break and went up 3-1. The 2020 US Open winner fought back by taking five straight games to win the opening set. At 5-4 in the second set, the Frenchman, who was attempting to stay in the match, saved a match point on service and was able to force a tiebreak. In the tiebreak, Thiem established a sizable lead before winning 6-3, 7-6 (3) on his third match point.
