The expert mercilessly assessed Hurkacz’s game. They’re plotting a sad scenario. “Won’t be able to” Tennis

This season, Hurkacz won only the ATP 250 tournament in Marseille, but there his highest ranked rival was Alexander Bublik from Kazakhstan (then 50th in the ATP ranking). This year, Hurkacz has already lost to Bernabe Zapata Miralles or Adrian Mannarino. Many weaker opponents also forced him to play three sets.

Hubert Hurkacz in poor form. The expert assesses: His biggest problem is his forehand

The uneven form of Hurkacz makes many fans and experts wonder about its causes. In an interview with WP SportoweFakty Karol Stopa, Eurosport commentator, shared his observations. In the interview, he was tempted to point out the biggest shortcomings in the game of the Polish tennis player.

– There is no repetitive, strong forehand with Hubert. This is the most missing link – assessed Stopa. – It’s an amazing thing. We’re talking about a guy who’s almost six feet tall, has a powerful serve, great backhand, and moves around the court very well. Previously, he had already obtained satisfactory results. He played his entire junior career with a very passive forehand and that’s what stayed with him. Unfortunately, this year Hubert often goes into “rest mode” from the forehand. He makes a lot of mistakes in this aspect of the game. It is shocking – the Eurosport commentator continues to be surprised.

Hurkacz retreats. Will it be out of the top soon?

Karol Stopa also notes that with such a form, Hurkacz will quickly cease to be a world top player. The Pole has already fallen to 15th place in the ranking. This is his worst result since June 2021, when he was in 18th position.

– The glass is half full. Hubert has shown in the past that he can outplay many excellent opponents. He entered the top ten of the rankings, reached the semi-finals of Wimbledon, beating Federer on the way. The problem is that now he can’t relate to it, he’s not moving up with his level. It’s more of a step back. All these tiring meetings with much lower ranked rivals show that he will not be able to stay in the top for longer – assesses Stopa.
