Meanwhile, Hubert Hurkacz faced Fabian Marozsan and secured a win with a scoreline of 4-6, 6-1, 6-3. Marozsan had earlier surprised by reaching his first ATP 1000 quarter-final and taking the first set. However, Hurkacz made a strong comeback in the second set, eventually winning the match. This victory also kept Hurkacz's hopes alive for a spot in the ATP Finals, as he climbed to 15th in the live standings.
