Hubert Hurkacz is widely known as one of the nicest people on the tennis Tour and he proved it once more with a sweet gesture following his win over
Thanasi Kokkinakis.
Kokkinakis and Hurkacz battled for a long time with the Polish player ending up as the winner in three sets. It didn't come easy and it featured a bit of lucky because Kokkinakis failed to finish off the match despite having 5 match points. The quality of the match caught the attention of several including Rennae Stubbs and Bianca Andreescu who said on Twitter:
"This match between @TKokkinakis and @HubertHurkacz is fantastic."
She further added:
"And Both such nice guys! I mean @HubertHurkacz looked at @TKokkinakis coach and said I’m sorry!!! Because he won and felt bad for them!!! I mean honestly! If he doesn’t win the award for nicest player on tour i don’t know who should."
Hurkacz indeed apoligzed to the box of Kokkinakis and that was caugh by Andreescu too. She wrote:
"The way Hubi apologized to Kokkinakis box aww."
Stubbs responded to her:
"Omg i can’t believe that either!!!! I mean if he’s not the cutest & nicest dude on tour, i don’t know who is!."
