Hubert Hurkacz and Gabriel Diallo opened their grass-court campaign in Den Bosch with a rescue act. On 8 June, they beat Yuki Bhambri and Michael Venus 3:6, 6:4, 14-12 in the Libema Open doubles first round after saving two match points in the super tie-break.
The win sent Hurkacz and Diallo into the quarterfinals at the ATP 250 event and gave Hurkacz a clean start to his 2026 grass season. It also kept him in the draw on two fronts in Den Bosch, where he had arrived to begin his summer on grass.
For Hurkacz, the result mattered beyond the scoreboard. Bhambri and Venus were the third-seeded team in the match, and the Poles? No, the pairing of Hurkacz and Diallo became the first duo to knock out a specialist doubles team from the tournament. That made the comeback feel bigger than a tight first-round win, especially after the pair had dropped the opening set 3:6 and had to claw back through a 6:4 second set before the super tie-break turned into a race to the finish.
What makes the result harder to ignore is what came next. Hurkacz was due to face Marton Fucsovics in singles on Tuesday, and the Polish player carried an 0-2 head-to-head record against him on the men’s tour. So while the doubles run bought him momentum, it did not buy him comfort. Den Bosch had already shown that Hurkacz could survive a tense finish on grass; the question was whether he could carry that same edge into a singles match that had never gone his way before.
That is what makes the next day in Den Bosch worth watching. Hurkacz has already taken one narrow escape and turned it into a quarterfinal berth with Diallo. The harder test is still waiting in singles, and Fucsovics has been the man to beat him twice already.
