Andrey Rublev vs Hubert Hurkacz preview

On Tuesday, June 16, Andrey Rublev and Hubert Hurkacz will butt heads at the 2026 Terra Wortmann Open. The duo are scheduled to be the second match on the Schauinsland-Reisen Court, with their battle taking place after the completion of Karen Khachanov and Ethan Quinn’s 11:30 AM encounter.For Rublev, his upcoming appearance at Halle will make his debut on grass for the 2026 season. Prior to this, the Russian was last seen on court at the French Open. While in Paris, he defeated the likes of Ignacio Buse, Camilo Ugo Carabelli and Nuno Borges. He eventually went down against Jakub Mensik in his fourth round encounter.

Meanwhile, Hurkacz kicked off his grass season earlier this month at the Libema Open, where he was shown the door in his opening round encounter by Marton Fucsovics. Overall, the Pole has had a lukewarm 2026 season, with a win-loss record of 9-12. His best performance of the year was a runners-up finish at the Sardegna Open, a Challenger event, but he has failed to make deep runs in other tournaments.

Andrey Rublev vs Hubert Hurkacz head-to-head record

Rublev and Hurkacz have played each other a total of six times over the years, and the Pole holds the edge in their head-to-head record. Their first meeting took place all the way back at the 2020 Internazionali BNL d’Italia. Hurkacz won that encounter in three sets before going on to beat the Russian in straight sets at the Miami Open a year later.

In 2022, Rublev managed to draw even against Hurkacz in their head-to-head record, clinching two back-to-back wins over the Pole. However, Hurkacz has since gone on to win their two most recent encounters, including their battle in Rotterdam in 2025

Andrey Rublev vs Hubert Hurkacz prediction

Rublev and Hurkacz’s battle should make for some interesting viewing. On paper, the Pole is the favorite for the win, holding an edge over his opponent in their head-to-head record and excelling on grass courts. However, given Hurkacz’s recent dip in form, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Rublev claim his first win over the former World No.4 in more than three years.

Pick: Andrey Rublev to win in three sets.
