Fourth-seeded Hubert Hurkacz ended qualifier Christian Harrison’s run in the ATP Delray Beach Open on Tuesday, winning a tough three setter 7-6 (7/4), 6-4.
The Pole will meet American Sebastian Korda in the final, Korda beat Britain’s Cam Norrie 6-3, 7-5 in his semifinal.
“Very happy to win this match today,” Hurkacz, 23, said.
“Christian played pretty amazing throughout the whole tournament.
“He qualified here and had his best results on the ATP Tour. Especially after all he came through, all the surgeries, it’s really great for him. He played a really amazing match.”
Harrison recovered an early break of serve in the second set before Hurkacz, seeking a second ATP title, broke him again to regain the advantage.
Korda, 20, and son of former Australian Open champion Petr Korda, will be seeking a first tour title.
He let two match points slip against Norrie before eventually taming his opponent.
“Other than that issue, I played a really good match,” Korda said afterwards.
“I’m fired up right now, I couldn’t be happier.”
