  • Hurkacz faces Marton Fucsovics in his next singles match.

Hubert Hurkacz has advanced to the doubles quarterfinals at the Libéma Open in Den Bosch after a resilient performance alongside partner Gabriel Diallo. On June 8, the pair defeated Yuki Bhambri and Matthew Ebden with a score of 3-6, 6-4, 14-12, saving two match points in a tense super tie-break.

This victory marks a significant start to Hurkacz’s 2026 grass-court campaign. The duo’s ability to overcome a first-set deficit against a specialist doubles team provides much-needed momentum as Hurkacz shifts his focus to the singles draw. According to reports from the tournament, the win was particularly notable as they were the first to eliminate a seeded doubles pair from the event.

Hurkacz is scheduled to face Marton Fucsovics in his singles opening match. The Polish player enters the contest looking to overcome an 0-2 head-to-head record against the Hungarian. While the doubles success has provided a confidence boost on the grass surface, the upcoming singles match represents a major hurdle in his early summer schedule.
