Kyrgios hits 30 aces but loses Halle semi-final to Hurkacz

The Australian wild card, who has excelled on the surface over the past fortnight and backed up last weekend's Stuttgart semi-final, was unable to earn victory against the Pole who defeated Roger Federer last year at Wimbledon. Fifth seed Hurkacz produced 27 aces of his own in a match of more than two hours during which neither man was able to seize any momentum. Wimbledon semi-finalist Hurkacz, ranked 12th to the 65th of Kyrgios, will aim for his first grass court title on Sunday when he plays Daniil Medvedev.
