Hubert Hurkacz (Polish pronunciation: [ˈxubɛrt ˈxurkatʂ]; born 11 February 1997)[2] is a Polish professional tennis player. He has been ranked as high as world No. 9 in singles by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), which he first achieved on 8 November 2021, and is the current Polish singles No. 1. Hurkacz is the highest-ranked Polish man in singles history (passing Wojciech Fibak).[3] He has won four ATP Tour singles titles, including a Masters 1000 title at the 2021 Miami Open. With the win, he became the first Pole to win a Masters 1000 title. Hurkacz also has a career-high ranking of world No. 44 in doubles, which he attained on 25 October 2021, a month after he won his second doubles title at the 2021 Moselle Open.

As a junior, Hurkacz was ranked as high as No. 29 in the world. He and his partner Alex Molčan were the runners-up at the 2015 Australian Open boys' doubles final. As a professional, he broke into the top 100 for the first time in 2018 after reaching the second rounds of the 2018 French Open and 2018 US Open. That year, he qualified for the Next Generation ATP Finals, where he won against Jaume Munar, but lost to Frances Tiafoe and Stefanos Tsitsipas. In 2019, he won his first ATP title at the 2019 Winston-Salem Open. The next year, he defeated three higher-ranked opponents at the 2020 ATP Cup and reached the semifinals of the 2020 ATP Auckland Open. In doing so, he entered the top 30 of the world rankings. In 2021, after winning his second and third singles titles, he went on to reach his first Grand Slam semifinal at the 2021 Wimbledon Championships and became the second Polish man to make a semifinals appearance at a Grand Slam.

Hurkacz is an all-court player. At 1.96 m (6 ft 5 in), he also possesses a serve reaching up to 151 miles per hour (243 km/h) to set up effective one-two punches. In addition to being a defensive baseliner, he has often included netplay into his style and has been recognized for his penchant for playing serve-and-volley to close points.

Early life and background[edit]

Hurkacz was born on 11 February 1997 to Zofia Maliszewska-Hurkacz and Krzysztof Hurkacz in Wrocław, Poland as the first of two children. His younger sister, Nika, is ten years his junior and also plays tennis.[4] Hurkacz grew up in a family with athletic prowess. His mother was a junior tennis champion in Poland and one of his uncles, Tomasz Maliszewski, played tennis professionally. His grandfather was also a volleyball player at an international level. When asked whether his family's history shaped him to become the athlete he became, Hurkacz replied, “The [sporting] genes, the motivation in the family, the love for the sport. I think they have helped me a lot.”[5]

Hurkacz began playing tennis at the age of five after his mother introduced him to the sport as she practiced. His mother and father were his first teachers but he later enrolled in classes and started playing more consistently. He later became interested in professional tennis after watching Roger Federer on television. He has stated that if tennis was not his future, he would have pursued either basketball or motor racing, or he would continue his education. By 2014, Hurkacz had established himself as a member of the group of the most talented young Polish tennis players at the time, alongside Kamil Majchrzak and Jan Zieliński.[6]

Career[edit]

2018: Grand Slam and Next Generation ATP Finals matches[edit]

In August, Hurkacz made his US Open debut. He began in the qualifying and reached his third straight Grand Slam main draw as a qualifier, beating John-Patrick Smith, Egor Gerasimov and Pedro Martinez Portero (all in straight sets) to reach the US Open first round. There, he faced Stefano Travaglia who, like many others, fell victim to the extreme heat and retired. In the second round, Hurkacz lost to 2014 US Open champion Marin Čilić in their second meeting.[9]

In November, Hurkacz played at the 2018 Next Generation ATP Finals held in Milan, where he won against Jaume Munar and lost to Frances Tiafoe and Stefanos Tsitsipas. At the end of the season Hurkacz received a nomination for the ATP Newcomer of the Year Award.[10]

Hurkacz started his season at the Maharashtra Open in Pune, India. He continued at the Canberra Challenger, where he won the title after defeating Ilya Ivashka in the final. Hurkacz followed that up by making his debut at the Australian Open. He faced one of the best servers on the Tour, drawing Ivo Karlović in the opening round at Melbourne Park.[11] After winning the first set, Hurkacz lost the match in four sets, all of which were tiebreakers. At the Dubai Championships, he defeated Corentin Moutet in the first round and then went on to win against No. 1 seeded player, Kei Nishikori, which marked his first ever win against a top 10 player. Hurkacz lost in the quarterfinals in three sets to the eventual runner-up of the tournament, Stefanos Tsitsipas.[12]

For the first time in his career, Hurkacz reached the third round of a Grand Slam. At Wimbledon, he defeated Dušan Lajović and Leonardo Mayer to set up a third-round match with world No. 1 Djokovic.

At the Rotterdam Open, Hurkacz struck 17 aces to knock out Adrian Mannarino in straight sets. In the second round, he lost to second-seeded Stefanos Tsitsipas in three sets.[24] He continued at the Dubai Championships, where he defeated Richard Gasquet before falling to third-seeded Denis Shapovalov in the third round.[25]

In March, Hurkacz participated at the Miami Open. He defeated Denis Shapovalov, Milos Raonic, Tsitsipas, Rublev, and Jannik Sinner en route to his first Masters 1000 title and third ATP title overall.[26][27] By lifting the title in Miami, he entered the top 20 for the first time and reached a career-high ranking of No. 16 on 5 April 2021.[28]

At the Halle Open he reached his second doubles final partnering again with Auger-Aliassime, but lost to third-seeded German Kevin Krawietz and Romanian Horia Tecău.

As the 14th seed at Wimbledon, Hurkacz defeated Lorenzo Musetti, Marcos Giron and Alexander Bublik all in straight sets to reach the fourth round at a Grand Slam for the first time in his career.[29] In the fourth round Hurkacz defeated second seed Daniil Medvedev, his third top-10 win of the year.[30] He was the fifth Polish man to reach the Wimbledon quarterfinals.[31] Hurkacz then defeated eight-time Wimbledon champion and sixth seed Roger Federer in the quarterfinals in three sets. With this victory, he became the first man since Mario Ančić in 2002 to defeat Federer in straight sets at Wimbledon.[32] Hurkacz became only the second Polish man in history to reach the semifinals at a Grand Slam (after Jerzy Janowicz at Wimbledon in 2013).[33] Hurkacz then lost to 7th-seed Matteo Berrettini in the semifinals. With this successful run he entered the top 15 in the rankings at World No. 11 on 12 July 2021.[34]

Following his Wimbledon run, Hurkacz attended the 2020 Summer Olympics and entered as the seventh seed. He defeated Luke Saville in the first round before falling in a stunning defeat to Liam Broady in a second round three-setter.[35] For the year's US Open Series, Hurkacz embarked on his first tournament of the North American summer swing at the Canadian Open in Toronto, where the seventh seed defeated Nikoloz Basilashvili to reach the quarterfinals before he lost to top seed Daniil Medvedev in a tight three-set match involving two tiebreaks. The following week, ninth-seeded Hurkacz took on the Cincinnati Masters and defeated former world No. 1 Andy Murray in straight sets before losing to Pablo Carreño Busta in the third round in another hard-fought match with two tiebreak sets. The loss ended Hurkacz's 12-match win streak in the United States following his success at Delray Beach and Miami earlier in the year.[36] In New York, Hurkacz embarked on the US Open as the 10th seed. He defeated Egor Gerasimov in the first round in straight sets before he was ousted by Andreas Seppi in a five-set second round match with a final set tiebreak.[37]

After his loss in New York, Hurkacz headed to the 2021 Moselle Open to play in both the singles and doubles tournaments. In the singles, he was drawn as the top seed.[38] After he defeated Lucas Pouille, Murray, and Peter Gojowczyk without dropping a set, he beat Carreño Busta in another straight-set win in the final and earned himself his fourth ATP title.[39] In the doubles, after making the finals without dropping a set, Hurkacz and his partner, Jan Zieliński, defeated Hugo Nys and Arthur Rinderknech in straight sets to win the tournament. Hurkacz's win gave him his second career doubles title and made him the first player to sweep both titles in the tournament's history.[40] The win earned him a top 50 debut in doubles and his then-career-high doubles ranking of world No. 47 on 27 September 2021.

Seeded eighth at the 2021 Indian Wells Masters, he reached the quarterfinals without dropping a set after beating Alexei Popyrin, Frances Tiafoe, and Aslan Karatsev.

At the Paris Masters, Hurkacz defeated qualifier Tommy Paul and lucky loser Dominik Koepfer to reach the quarterfinals.[43] There, he beat Australian James Duckworth, to take the 8th and final spot at the ATP Finals.[44] He is the second Polish player to earn a spot at the event in tournament history (after 1976 runner-up Wojciech Fibak).[45] Hurkacz lost to Novak Djokovic in the semifinals in three sets. Due to his result at the tournament, his ranking shot up to No. 9 thus surpassing Wojciech Fibak for the highest ranked Polish man in ATP singles ranking history.[3]

2022: ATP Cup Semifinal[edit]

In January Hubert Hurkacz participated at the 2022 ATP Cup, where his win over Diego Schwartzman sealed victory for Poland over Argentina and allowed Polish team to advance to the semifinals.[46] At the 2022 Australian Open Hurkacz defeated Egor Gerasimov before falling to Adrian Mannarino in the second round. Seeded 4th at the 2022 ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament in Rotterdam Hurkacz overpowered Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the first round.[47] In the second round he lost to Lorenzo Musetti in three sets.[48]

Playing style[edit]

Hurkacz playing at the 2018 Citi Open

Hurkacz plays an all-court game with an emphasis on defensive baseline play, and former top 10 player Wojciech Fibak stated that Hurkacz is "an excellent, versatile player who can attack, accelerate and defend".[49] Hurkacz is a big hitter, given that he stands 196 cm (6’5”). He is an effective server, with a top serve capable of reaching 151 miles per hour (243 km/h),[50] and can hit powerfully from both his forehand and backhand. But like many of the tour's more powerful players, consistency has been described as an issue.[9] Hurkacz plays solidly from the back of the court. He plays a low, flat and dangerous ball, while holding the ball in court. Over the years, Hurkacz has also developed a reputation as a diver on court. Speaking of his unique moves, Hurkacz explains, “I always enjoy grass courts, when you play on the hardcourt or clay court it's probably better not to dive as when you're falling down from the dive you can scratch yourself, on the grass, it's pretty comfortable. Sometimes, trying to get to a ball which is pretty far away, you just have to do it.”[51] He has also been described as a serve-and-volley player, especially on grass courts.[52] His coach, Craig Boynton, summarized Hurkacz's style by comparing it to that of Andy Murray: "I think if you look at him, people have said he kind of mirrors Andy Murray with a similar routine on returns, a little bit of a similar backhand. He's a little taller than Andy. Andy's movement was phenomenal. But Hubi's a very good athlete, too."[4]

Despite all tennis players being taught to keep their eye on the ball, Hurkacz does quite the opposite. In a 2019 interview with L'Equipe, he admitted, "I confess, it's true, I close my eyes when I hit the ball. In fact, I've probably always played like that, and it's been a while since I've been noticed."[4]

Coaches[edit]

In the early years (2010–2016), Hurkacz was coached by Filip Kańczuła. In 2017, he continued with Wrocław coaches Alexander Charpantidis and Paweł Stadniczenko, who shaped the tennis career of Michał Przysiężny, while Przemysław Piotrowicz was responsible for physical preparation. In 2018, "Hubi" decided to work with New Zealander Rene Moller, who appeared at his side during the Next Gen ATP Finals in Milan later that same year. Under his leadership, Hurkacz won the Challenger in Canberra and strengthened himself in the top 100. At the 2019 Indian Wells Open, Hurkacz began his coaching partnership with Craig Boynton, who had worked with players including Jim Courier, Mardy Fish, John Isner, Sam Querrey and Steve Johnson.[6]

Endorsements[edit]

Sports company Yonex is the primary brand sponsor of Hubert Hurkacz. He has a head-to-toe deal with the company. Hubert plays with YONEX using VCORE PRO 97 racquet, Pro Series bag, ECLIPSION3 tennis shoes, and apparel. He is also sponsored by LOTOS, Grupa Lotos, the Polish capital group that specializes in the crude oil production, refining and marketing of oil products. During his matches Hurkacz wears the LOTOS brand’s logo on his shirts.[53]

Hurkacz has turned his childhood love of sports cars into a partnership with U.K. based McLaren that has him driving high-end McLaren vehicles while at tournaments. It started in New York City when Hurkacz toured around in the McLaren GT. "It impressed me a lot," Hurkacz said. "Having a chance to compare different models of the McLaren cars is amazing." At the 2021 BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells he was spinning in the McLaren 720S, the same car he drives when in Poland.[54]

Personal life[edit]

For the past several years Hurkacz has adhered to a vegan diet. However during his interview with ATP he stated that "when I was a kid, I didn’t like salad at all and I didn’t like most of the veggies".[55]

From childhood Hurkacz has been passionate about cars. He stated, "I love cars, if I saw one on the street, I was always trying to look at it, find data about the cars." His love of cars led him to Formula One—he doesn't miss a race—and that led him to partnership with the McLaren team. He is hoping to get behind the wheel of one of the McLaren supercars on a track, even with a racecar driver.[54][56]

Furthermore, since he was a kid he was surrounded by tennis. His whole family is loving this sport, however Hurkacz was the first one to succeed in a worldwide context.[57]
