Kokkinakis and Hurkacz battled for a long time with the Polish player ending up as the winner in three sets. It didn't come easy and it featured a bit of lucky because Kokkinakis failed to finish off the match despite having 5 match points. The quality of the match caught the attention of several including Rennae Stubbs and Bianca Andreescu who said on Twitter:

"This match between @TKokkinakis and @HubertHurkacz is fantastic."
