Hubert Gurkacz
For the Pole, the upcoming match will be the fourth in the Marseille tournament, Hubert was a seeded tennis player, so he played less than Bonzi for one match. Hubert eliminated Swiss Riedel, Swede Ymer and Kazakh Bublik from the tournament, losing a total of two sets. It is worth noting that Gurki defeated Bublik in the semi-finals in two matches 6:4, 7:6. In the duel with Bublik, Hubert served great, scored 22 aces and zero double faults. Serving stats: 82%/65%, Receiving stats: 17%/59%. Generally, it can be seen that during the tournament the Pole added. It is worth noting that even a victory in the tournament in Marseille will not restore Hubert’s place in the top ten of the ATP ranking, but it will bring him close to Holger Rune.
Benjamin Bonzi
If one could expect a good performance by Gurkacz in Marseille, then the Pole has been heard for a long time, he is in the top ten of the ranking. Then it’s a huge success for Bonzi to reach the Indura final, especially after the defeats in Montpellier and Rotterdam. At the same time, we note that in Marseille Bonzi was lucky with a draw and a net, because the paths of the Frenchman have not yet crossed with the leading players. Benjamin eliminated van Asch, Cressy, De Minaur and Fils. Fils is a young and promising guy, but only the 118th racket in the world. The semi-final lasted one hour and 25 minutes, the result of the match was 6:4, 6:4. Bonzi stats: 4/0 aces/doubles, 88%/70% serve points, 31%/41% return points.

Prediction for the match Gurki — Bonzi
We believe that Gurki should not have any major problems in the finals. The Pole is noticeably better than the Frenchman in most aspects of the game, the only thing on Bonzi’s side is his court factor, but that didn’t help Benjmin in Montpellier. The Pole won during the tournament, in the semi-final Hubert served great, was good at the party and quite deservedly defeated Bublik, who is now clearly in good shape. We repeat once again, we do not expect a sensation in the final, we bet on a certain victory of the favorite.
The main prediction is for Gurks to win with a handicap (-1.5) at 1.70
