Hubert "Hubi" Hurkacz (Polish pronunciation: [ˈxubɛrt ˈxurkatʂ]; born 11 February 1997)[2] is a Polish professional tennis player. He has a career-high singles ranking of world No. 11, achieved on 12 July 2021 and a doubles ranking of world No. 60, achieved on 26 July 2021.[3] He is the current Polish No. 1 male tennis player in singles. Hurkacz is also the first player from Poland to win an ATP Masters 1000 singles title, which he did at the 2021 Miami Open.

As a junior, Hurkacz reached the 2015 Australian Open boys' doubles final. In 2018, he qualified for the Next Gen ATP Finals held in Milan, where he won against Jaume Munar and lost to Frances Tiafoe and Stefanos Tsitsipas. In 2019, he won his first ATP title in Winston-Salem by defeating Benoît Paire in the final.

His best result in a Grand Slam has been reaching the semifinals, which he achieved at Wimbledon in 2021, beating world No. 2 Daniil Medvedev and world No. 8 Roger Federer in the fourth round and quarterfinal respectively.

Early life and background[]

Hurkacz's family has an athletic background. His mother, Zofia Maliszewska-Hurkacz, was a junior tennis champion in Poland. Both his uncles were tennis players and his grandfather was a volleyball player at an international level. When asked whether his family's history has shaped him to be the athlete he is today, Hurkacz replied, “The [sporting] genes, the motivation in the family, the love for the sport. I think they have helped me a lot.”[4]

Hurkacz began playing tennis at the age of five after his mother introduced him to the sport as she practiced. His mother and father Krzysztof were his first teachers. Hurkacz enrolled in classes and started playing more consistently. He became interested in professional tennis while watching Roger Federer on television. He has stated that if tennis was not his future, he would have most likely chosen basketball, motor racing, or to continue his education. By 2014, Hurkacz belonged to the group of the most talented young Polish tennis players, including Kamil Majchrzak and Jan Zielinski.[5]

Hurkacz has a younger sister, Nika, who is ten years his junior. She also plays tennis and is hoping to be a professional.[6]

At the 2019 Dubai Tennis 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]

Hurkacz later produced an upset in the first round of the 2019 Eastbourne International, with a victory over seventh seed Marco Cecchinato in just over an hour. He then defeated Steve Johnson in the second round.[13] In the quarterfinals Hurkacz lost a tight match against the eventual champion Taylor Fritz.

For the first time in his career, Hurkacz reached the third round of a Grand Slam.

Hurkacz was seeded tenth at the 2021 US Open (tennis). In the first round he will face Egor Gerasimov in the first round.

Playing style[]

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".[36] Hurkacz is a big hitter, given that he stands 196 cm (6’5”). He is an effective server and can hit powerfully from both his forehand and backhand. But, like many of the Tour's more powerful players, consistency is 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 improved his “Hubert dive shot,” and made a reputation as a diver on court. “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.”[37] Despite all tennis players being taught to keep their eye on the ball, Hurkacz does quite the opposite. “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,” Hurkacz told L’Equipe in 2019.[38]

His current coach Craig Boynton compared Hubi's style to 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.”[39]

Coaches[]

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 BNP Paribas Open, Hurkacz began his coaching partnership with Craig Boynton, who worked with such players as Jim Courier, Mardy Fish, John Isner, Sam Querrey and Steve Johnson.[5]
