Hubert Hurkacz returns to the game. He decided on a beautiful gesture
Hubert Hurkacz is the best Polish tennis player. The Pole wants to do good things through sport, so he decided on a unique gesture. He promised help to flood victims.
Hubert Hurkacz returns to the court after about a month’s break. The eighth racket in the world last competed at the US Open. Unfortunately, the Wroclaw native was eliminated in the second round against Australian Thompson.
Hubert Hurkacz parted ways with his coach
This loss was the last straw and resulted in a breakup with the current coach, Craig Boynton. The men worked together for five years and together they first advanced to the top 10 of the ATP ranking, and then advanced to the historic seventh place for Poland.
“What a unique adventure these last 5 years have been. We have experienced so many incredible highs and been through so much together, but sometimes good things have to come to an end. Hubi and I agreed to go our separate ways. I am very grateful for our time together. I look forward to this new chapter in my life and the opportunities that lie ahead,” Craig Boynton wrote in a farewell post on Instagram.
A beautiful gesture by Hubert Hurkacz
Now Hubert Hurkacz will take part in the ATP 500 tournament in Tokyo. In the first round, the Pole will face Marcos Giron. Our representative is seeded number two in this competition, and his rival is currently in 47th place in the ATP ranking. The tennis players have played each other twice so far, in Wimbledon 2021 and in this year’s tournament in Halle. In both of these matches, the Wrocław team prevailed and did not lose even a set.
Just before the start of this tournament, Hubert Hurkacz decided on a beautiful gesture. The Pole did not forget about the people affected by the flood and decided to do something good. He announced everything on his Instastories.
“From today until the end of the season, for each of my aces, I will donate EUR 100 to help those affected by the tragic flood in Poland. For me, sport is not only passion and competition, but also a chance to do something good for others,” we read.
