Hubert Hurkacz vs Thiago Seyboth Wild: United Cup match preview

The Polish tennis player Hubert Hurkacz enjoyed a title-winning run during the hard court season in 2023. After outclassing some of the top seeds like Andrey Rublev and Sebastian Korda, the current world No. 9 clinched the Shanghai Masters title in style. On top of his triumphant campaign, Hurkacz also secured a runner-up finish at the Swiss Indoors following his victory against the Frenchman, Ugo Humbert.

The Brazilian tennis player faced a first-round defeat at the Swiss Indoors, while he also failed to qualify for the Pairs Masters.
