It is still too early to fully trust Hubert Hurkacz following his return from the lengthy injury layoff. He still remains difficult to break down on indoor courts, pointing toward a win in tight sets and making over games and potential tiebreaks appealing betting angles.
Stats – Hurkacz Trending Up, Damm Still Unproven
- Hubert Hurkacz is winless at ATP Montpellier, losing both of his previous main-draw appearances at this event.
- Hurkacz has made an encouraging start to the 2026 season, winning five of his first seven matches.
- Martin Damm has already picked up two wins this week after coming through the qualifying rounds.
- Damm has never won a main-draw match at tour-level events outside the United States.
HTH
These two players have never met before.
Hubert Hurkacz Showing Life After Injury
Hubert Hurkacz must be encouraged by his start to the season after a lengthy injury layoff that brought plenty of uncertainty around his fitness and level.
He hit the ground running at the United Cup, winning four of five matches and recording statement victories over Alexander Zverev and Taylor Fritz.
That said, caution is still warranted, as players returning from injury often feel the physical toll as match load increases.
Those doubts resurfaced at the Australian Open, where Hurkacz scraped past Zizou Bergs in four sets before falling in straight sets to Ethan Quinn.
While he remains a dangerous indoor player, he has oddly struggled in Montpellier with two losses from two appearances.

Martin Damm Still Searching for ATP Breakthrough
Martin Damm made notable progress in 2025, reaching the 50-win mark for only the second time in his career and posting a personal-best 57 wins from 77 matches.
Since then, the transition to the ATP Tour has proven challenging, with effort evident but results yet to fully follow.
He successfully qualified for the Australian Open but exited in the first round, and now looks to avoid a similar outcome in Montpellier after again coming through qualifying.
His only previous ATP main-draw appearance came at the 2024 Miami Masters, where he lost two tight tiebreak sets in the opening round.

Verdict
Martin Damm has not shown enough to suggest he can realistically take down Hubert Hurkacz at this stage. He should still be competitive enough to force tiebreaks, though, with four of his five qualifying sets decided that way, making over games a strong angle here.
