Hubert Hurkacz Decides to Serve Up a Kind Gesture During His Stint at Wimbledon Championships 2022

Earlier this year, the Eastern European conflict broke out, which had significant implications for the entire world. Due to these geopolitical tensions, there has been a steep rise in inflation and the supply chain of essential commodities has taken a hit.

Moreover, the sporting world has been affected too, with players across the globe voicing their support for Ukraine. Recently, Polish tennis star Hubert Hurkacz had a wonderful gesture ahead of the Wimbledon Championships 2022.

Hubert Hurkacz pledges support for Ukraine

The 25-year-old took to Twitter to announce his donation to support the people of Ukraine. He said, “I’d like to announce that starting tomorrow I am pledging to donate 100 euros for every ace I hit at Wimbledon to help support the people of Ukraine. Hope my serve works well!”

Further, Hurkacz is an effective server on the ATP Tour. He has already hit 452 aces this season, which is the third-best on the men’s tour this year.

Hurkacz will be looking to better his last year’s performance at Wimbledon. In the previous season, he had reached the semifinals before losing against Matteo Berrettini. En route to his last-four run, the Polish star had knocked out the Swiss maestro, Roger Federer, in the quarterfinals.
