“I’m definitely really pleased with my performance,” Hurkacz said after his semi-final win. “Sebastian had a really great week here coming from qualifying, beating so many great players. I knew it was going to be a difficult challenge.
“Fortunately I was able to get a break of serve early in both sets, and that definitely set the tone for the rest of the match. Especially as I was serving quite good and playing well from the baseline.”
Hurkacz is yet to drop a set in Geneva, but will have to do something he's never done before to win the title – beat Novak Djokovic.
The Serbian former world No.1 holds a 7-0 record over the Pole, and will be looking to make history when they meet in the final.
