A Final Between Two Players Level on Wins
Hubert Hurkacz of Poland and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina of Spain are the two players in the final of the ATP Chengdu Open. The pairing brings together a Polish player and a Spanish player at the same Chinese tournament, and it follows a head-to-head record that has stood at one win for each man since 2022.[S1]
The two most recent meetings between Hurkacz and Davidovich Fokina both took place at the Chengdu Open in 2026. They first faced each other in the round of 16 on 26 September 2026, then met again in the semi-final on 28 September 2026. Both of those matches were played on hard courts.[S1]
Context Around Both Players
Coverage listed alongside the Chengdu Open final touches on several episodes involving the two finalists and their rivals. One item describes Hurkacz pointing to back and abdominal trouble after he retired at Wimbledon. Another concerns Davidovich Fokina, after Auger-Aliassime called tennis's injury rule a disgrace following a timeout taken by Davidovich Fokina.[S1]
Other items in the same listing concern players beyond the final. One covers Shelton, who was on the best run of his season and refused to let a four-setter become a five against Hurkacz. Another covers Struff, who reached a maiden Grand Slam quarterfinal at 36 but found little joy in the way it came. A further item discusses the maintenance behind Djokovic's record days and the idea of winning ugly at 39.[S1]
