Marseille Open: Hurkacz vs Bonzi Tennis Prediction & Pick

TennisSection previews the 2023 Marseille Open as Hubert Hurkacz takes on Benjamin Bonzi in the final on Sunday, February 26, 2023.

Will Hubert Hurkacz get the win? Will Benjamin Bonzi pull off the upset? This will be an interesting one, where we have the Polish No. 1 taking on a local Frenchman. Who will triumph and claim the title at the 2023 Marseille Open?

Hubert Hurkacz has had a couple of tough matches this week, just edging past Ymer in the quarterfinals and needing three sets in his opening match before he took down Bublik in the semis to book a first-ever meeting against Benjamin Bonzi in the title showdown. Hurkacz is the clear favorite by rankings, but he may have to work harder than expected if he wants to leave France as the champion here at the 2023 Marseille Open.

Benjamin Bonzi denied Arthur Fils a chance to contest his first-ever ATP tour-level final, taking him out 6-4 6-4 as he looks ahead to top seed Hubert Hurkacz. In order to win this match, Bonzi will need to take care of his serve. With the numbers that Hurkacz puts up on serve as one of the world’s most feared servers, Bonzi cannot allow himself to fall behind in the scoreline. Let’s see if Bonzi can make this a match as he looks to somehow pull off the upset and claim the title at the 2023 Marseille Open.

Hubert Hurkacz and Benjamin Bonzi have never met before, with this being their first career meeting. It’s a first-ever meeting between the two men, and although I expect Hurkacz to emerge victorious, he can be shaky and Bonzi has slowly but surely been raising his level in the last couple of years, so it’ll be exciting to see if the top seed can manage this tough challenge and triumph as the winner of the 2023 Marseille Open.
