Not a big fan of Sonego because of his incessant grunting but he played his heart out in this match. Respect! Ultimately Hurkacz was just a bit better on the day. Happy for him as he's such a gentleman and very likeable.
My thoughts almost exactly. Hurkacz has more weapons ultimately, but Sonego played like a real warrior and wasn't obnoxious (as he tends to be at times...)
The point that takes place at 2:37 is a primary example of the danger the painted "MELBOURNE" in the backcourt is to players. Hurkacz slipped on the "B" and through the left side and bottom of the "O", and almost fell. This poses a serious risk for leg, hip, back, or even wrist injuries if the player slips or falls. Amongst the physical danger it poses to the assets of the ATP and WTA (the players), it also is an unfair advantage for the player on the other side of the court who does not have the slippery painted lettering in the backcourt. Just use video editing / effects to put the advertisements on the court. I also dislike the LED TV's that are on the back of the court of some tournaments, I can't imagine how distracting that is while trying to focus on the ball.
Hurkacz has a nice, fluid game, enjoyable to watch. Sonego seems like a decent guy but those grunts are obnoxious. Tennis needs to do something about the grunting. It's extremely annoying to listen to.
U don’t get to decide what whether or not a player can grunt or at which volume they should grunt. Ur not playing. Tired of u entitled tennis fans thinking u get to dictate a player’s career. So pretentious.
Although Sonego can definitely be annoying with his grunting, but you have to hand it to him. He left it all out there on the court. Fought till the end. Great match by both.
Hubie deserves a great tournament. He seldom complains, and he is such a hard worker. Always looking to improve on his movement, his fitness, and his volleys. Sorry but Sonego is an obnoxious grunter and he does it to disrupt.
the loudness of it is one thing, but the timing is just of way to much. He hits the ball, its already at the other side of the net and then he starts grunting hard, there is no reason for that whatsoever.
The funny ( or rather sad ) thing about Sonego grunts is that he actually grunts even after hitting a slice. I mean, grunting after slicing the ball. What the hell. 😂😂 He doesn't even pretend it's necessary, apparently.
@@sciagurrato1831 I agree with his serve improving but he tends to prolong the rallies which I know he can finish it earlier. Hopefully he can flatten that forehand a little more.
From the loudest grunter (and calculated/false for that matter IMO) to the other guy who makes no noise at all - really two extremes and you can't but wonder if the grunting plays a part of Sonego's game. Should not be allowed if you grunt right while the other guy is about to receive and hit the shot back. he's trying to play mind games and I think it affected the other guy glad he was able to get over that and win.
I saw Hurkacz here very, very slow in his movements and the Italian Sonego was eating him with very fast and effective balls. If the Pole hadn't woken up so slowly, he would have left this AO, simple and easy. IMHO!
Happy for Hubi -- as a tennis fan and a Pole, but Hubi, man, talk to the folk at Yonex -- whoever chose that color of your outfit is not your friend! A nearly two-meter-tall dude should not pretend to be a cyclamen or a lilac in bloom. There's still a lot of time left till May... We will consider forgiving you this fashion misstep only if you win the title here, so go for it, man! Fingers crossed! Kciuki tak ściskane, że sinieją. ;)
guys like sonego with less talent can move on in tournaments only with lots of luck, playing 5 sets on 100% is not possible for him, he is dangerous in best of three maybe....
ciekawe czemu Hubi gra ten odbiór serwisu tak słabo i pasywnie normalnie jak dziewczyna albo junior jakiś jak by to się jakoś kiedyś zmieniło to mógłby dołączyć do najlepszych na pewno
Baseline tennis is boring. These players need to learn to play the mid court and net. More variety please. Novak will beat everyone from the baseline so you better have a Plan B. I miss the days of real tennis. Today's tennis is all power shots from the baseline.
@@kakaok please watch the video at the 0:40 minute point and tell that is good net playing. As far as Hubi, he is a great player but he could use more variety, especially if he wants to beat a baseline player like Novak

good points, these things matter.

Congratulations Hubert for winning. Go on the road through the tournament.

Monica Seles has entered the chat
Sharapova has left the chat
I mean normally for me grunts are ok, but his are just 🤮
The thing with him is, he grunts 2 seconds after he has hit the ball, when the opponent is about make his shot. That’s what’s annoying

His grunts are waaaayyyy too late.
Nice match for both !!
Hursack had the patience to wait Sonego for a level drop and he got it !
Greatings Milton from Rosario Argentina 🧉🏆😉🤙✌️ !!!!

As if you're calling out a pro on their breathing 🧐🙄
You control the speed of out-breathing with the grunt. Sonego = emotional. Hurkarc = unemotional
Great match dudes! Congratulations to Hubiii🎉
I'm gonna need hurkacz to play a little more aggressive on his shots lol!
HH has a serve (when he’s focused) but not much else. Sonego should have won this.
@@sciagurrato1831 I agree with his serve improving but he tends to prolong the rallies which I know he can finish it earlier. Hopefully he can flatten that forehand a little more.
This Sonego sounds like a maniac with those weird grunts. Glad Hubie dispatched him.
Great sportsmanship from Sonego at the end of the match. Hubie plays such a smooth game.
Good match and always great to see those who celebrate "too much" (not that is a bad thing) lose.
Quiero que Hube gane un GS, gane este AO
What a match!
I have a question for the organizers of the Australian Open. What are the Russian tennis players doing at the Australian Open? Bravo Hubert .. Bravo .

Hurkacz will need to improve his serve consistency in subsequent rounds to have a chance at a deep run
I saw Hurkacz here very, very slow in his movements and the Italian Sonego was eating him with very fast and effective balls. If the Pole hadn't woken up so slowly, he would have left this AO, simple and easy. IMHO!
I’m hoping Huracz’ nickname of “The Big Pole” doesn’t stick…
The big Shaft of a dude
His nickname is Hubi or HuHu
Italian job😂 keep going Hubert 💪
the male version of sabalenka
Good. Don't need to listen Sonego anymore
Very nice match from both, Hurkacz was much better.👌
Greetings from Poland to our Hungarian friends. 😘
why are this video always like 12h after upload available?
I hate Sonego so much, because he scream 2,3s after hit the ball
How do you not challenge that final serve?
All highlights should be at least eight minutes but no slo mo replays
What a HORRIBLE mistake from Sonego leaving that ball in the tie-break! Oh my! You are under the net man, HIT THAT BAAAAAAAAAAALLLL!!!!!!!!!!
5:11 you'll *_never_* see a rally like this in a WTA match. Surgical chess exchange that explodes into an endgame. Lovely....
Daniel LaRusso almost had him.
Daniel San, you spend more time on your tennis. less time waxing off.
The better athlete won in the end, but quite a nail-biter. Sonego should have wasted less energy bellowing, he needed it the last two sets.
Karate Kid v Velvet Fog
Hurkacz looks like a top model with that outfit lol.
It amazes me that umpires don’t call a hindrance on sonego. He yells/grunts right before his opponent hits the ball. He is a cheater.
Came here just to see sonego lose
Dlaczego tak mało kibiców ???

@@IHO2691 Hubert Hurkacz could be in top 3 most often coming to the net players now. He wouldn't do it if he doesn't feel confident with it
