It rained heavily on Tuesday in Geneva. But the essentials were preserved for the Gonet Geneva Open, as all the first-round matches were completed. Arthur Rinderknech, Hubert Hurkacz, and Fabian Marozsan won decisively, slipping through the rain to reach the round of 16. The Gonet Geneva Open is therefore still on schedule.
Hubert Hurkacz certainly had time to make an impression. The Pole defeated Arthur Cazaux 6–3, 6–4 and will face another French player on Wednesday, Arthur Rinderknech. Currently ranked 31st in the ATP rankings, but as high as No. 6 last August, Hubert Hurkacz has paid a heavy price in recent months due to knee and back injuries. A quarterfinalist last week in Rome, he seems capable of making a strong run in his first appearance at the Gonet Geneva Open.
The last player to defeat Roger Federer in an official match, in the quarterfinals at Wimbledon in 2021, Hubert Hurkacz could indeed shake up the top of the draw, with a potential quarterfinal clash against top seed Taylor Fritz. It’s already mouthwatering.
