Ofner fails due to Hurkacz: semi -finals lost in Geneva!

In the semi-finals of the ATP 250 event in Geneva, Sebastian Ofner had to accept a defeat against Hubert Hurkacz. The result of the game was 3: 6, 4: 6. This was the first meeting of the two players on the ATP tour. While OFNER with 13 points won on the offensive with Hurkacz, 24 mistakes were under pressure, while Hurkacz only recorded 13 "unforced errors". Hurkacz, known for his flawless surcharge, only needed a break in each sentence to finally emerge as the winner. With this defeat, OFNER is currently in 108th place in the ATP ranking, but was able to take 100 ATP points and 31,090 euros in prize money. This performance is particularly noteworthy because he played through the qualification to the semi-finals and previously defeated the former top 10 player Karen Khachanov. All of this shows that Ofner is strong, shortly before the upcoming French Open. In the first round he meets the German Jan-Lennard Struff, while Filip Misolic also made the leap into the main field of the French Open through the qualification.

Hubert Hurkacz, who remains in the ATP ranking in the ATP ranking in 22, is considered the highly placed Polish tennis player in history. He won a total of 12 ATP titles, 8 of them in singles and 4 in doubles. His most remarkable individual victories include championships such as the Miami Open (2021) and the Shanghai Masters (2023) against top -class opponents such as Jannik Sinner and Andrey Rublev. Despite his successes, Hurkacz has not yet won a Grand Slam title, which, however, does not prevent him from continuing to pursue his ambitions. His next goal is the French Open, where he will meet stronger competitors and intends to improve his balanced record at the Grand Slams, which has been achieved after it was achieved in the past the quarter -finals at the Australian Open and the French Open as well as the semi -finals in Wimbledon.
