TennisSection previews the 2023 Miami Masters third-round match featuring Hubert Hurkacz vs Adrian Mannarino on Monday, March 27, 2023.

Hubert Hurkacz vs Adrian Mannarino Match Preview

Will Hubert Hurkacz get the win? Will Adrian Mannarino pull off the upset? This will be an interesting one, where we have the former champion taking on a player coming off a big win. Who will triumph and move through to the Round of 16 at the 2023 Miami Masters?

Hubert Hurkacz came through an absolute epic with Kokkinakis, winning 6-7 7-6 7-6 in the end. Saving 4 match points, Hurkacz will be feeling slightly lucky to stay alive at the 2023 Miami Masters, and considering his past success here, he’ll still be very dangerous. Let’s see if Hurkacz can take one step closer to his past results with what would be a solid win over Adrian Mannarino for a spot in the last 16 at the 2023 Miami Masters.

Adrian Mannarino took down Ben Shelton in a tight 3 setter to set up a meeting with 8th seed Hubert Hurkacz, and although on paper Hurkacz is a heavy favorite, Mannarino is playing some good tennis and Hurkacz had to win the longest ATP match of the season so far to get here. Mannarino will have to keep the rallies long, he’ll certainly be able to draw a few unforced errors, and maybe that will be enough to keep him competitive for a spot in the fourth round at the 2023 Miami Masters.

Hubert Hurkacz vs Adrian Mannarino Prediction and Pick

Hubert Hurkacz and Adrian Mannarino have met three times before, with Hubert Hurkacz leading the head to head 2-1. Though Hurkacz leads the series, Mannarino took out Hurkacz in straight sets in the 2022 Australian Open, proving his danger as a player, particularly on a quicker court, and Miami is playing quickly enough this year for Mannarino to trouble the Pole, however, with the way Hurkacz has performed here in the past, I have to expect him to come through at the 2023 Miami Masters.
