Wimbledon R3 previews and predictions: Paul vs. Hurkacz, Medvedev vs. Struff
Spots in the proverbial second week of Wimbledon will be at stake on Friday, when Tommy Paul goes up against Hubert Hurkacz in the third round. With no days off following his previous match, Jan-Lennard Struff faces Daniil Medvedev.Hubert Hurkacz vs. (21) Tommy PaulPaul and Hurkacz will be squaring off for the fifth time in their careers when they clash in round three at Wimbledon on Friday. The head-to-head series stands at 3-1 in favor of Paul, who has won three straight over Hurkacz after losing their first encounter on the indoor hard courts of Paris in 2021. Their most recent meetings came at the Rome Masters in both 2024 and 2025, with Paul prevailing 7-5, 3-6, 6-3 and then 7-6(4), 6-3.A grass court certainly gives Hurkacz a better chance. The 96th-ranked Pole is a former Wimbledon semifinalist (2021) and reached the fourth round in 2023. Alarmingly, however, he had not advanced past round two of any Grand Slam since the 2024 French Open before beating Casper Ruud and Sebastian Ofner earlier this week. Those are decent straight-set results, but don’t forget that facing Ruud on grass is nothing more than a virtual bye. Paul is in far better form, as he finished runner-up at Queen’s Club and then completely destroyed Alexandre Muller and Soonwoo Kwon to begin his Wimbledon campaign. The 25th-ranked American is a superior all-court player these days, so Hurkacz will be in trouble unless he delivers one of the best serving performances of his career.
