Hubert Hurkacz’s efforts on the court will mean more than ever throughout the season.
The No. 8 player in the PIF ATP Rankings is returning to his home country of Poland, which recently suffered devastating floods.
“From today until the end of the season, I will donate €100 for every ace I hit to support those affected by the devastating floods in Poland,” Hurkacz wrote on social media. “For me, sports is not just a competition, but also a platform to make an impact.”
