Hurkacz has had a tough few weeks behind him.
Hubert Hurkacz’s form has given Polish fans high hopes ahead of the Paris Olympics. Thanks to his results, the Wroclaw native has found himself at the highest position of his career in the ATP rankings, and there were plenty of indications that he had a good chance at the most important event of the last three years.
Unfortunately, for the 27-year-old, everything is going wrong. It started during Wimbledon.In the clash with Arthur Fells, the Pole decided to fight. Even then, it seemed that his knee injury was serious. Hurkacz decided to undergo surgery and fought to the end to be able to go to the Olympics, but he lost the battle against time. He returned to play in August, but the tournament in Cincinnati again proved unlucky for him. This time he injured his calf and as a result was unable to finish the match with Frances Tiafoe.
The Wroclaw native will not play in the Davis Cup either.
Hurkacz’s health problems don’t just affect him. On Thursday, the Polish Tennis Federation published preliminary selections for the upcoming Davis Cup match. In mid-September, Poland will face a tough challenge: a match against South Korea. Ideally, the 27-year-old would be a natural leader for the team, but Captain Marius Firstenberg decided to leave Hobby at home..
For the health of Hubert Hurkacz, currently ranked 7th in the ATP rankings, the Polish Tennis Federation, the captain of the national team and the player himself have jointly decided to withdraw him from the upcoming 2024 Davis Cup competition. All parties are concerned about Hubert’s long-term health and further career development, with full appreciation for his current commitment and dedication to representing Poland.
