Polish tennis player Hubert Hurkacz has revealed that he has
undergone surgery but is still optimistic about participating in the Paris
Olympics. The mega-event will be organised from July 26 to August 09 in the capital
city of France, where thousands of athletes will participate in different sports
to claim glory for their respective countries.
Hurkacz was recently quoted in a report as saying that he is ‘feeling better’ after undergoing a knee procedure. He suffered the injury during Wimbledon when he was forced to retire from the second-round contest against France’s Arthur Fils. The Wrocław-born also stated that, like every athlete, it is his ‘dream’ to represent his country at the Olympics.

“I had a knee procedure this Monday, but I’m feeling better
already and my team and are dedicating extensive time each day to the rehab
process,” he wrote in a post on the social media. “It’s a dream for every
athlete to represent their country at the Olympics, and I want to make sure I
am fully fit and ready before making the final decision to step on court. The
aim is not only to participate, but to win a medal for my country.”
Hurkacz played in the 2020 Olympics, and his journey was
very short. In the singles category, he was knocked out after losing in the
second round to Britain’s Liam Broady with a score of 7-5, 3-6, 6-3. In the doubles
category, he and his partner Łukasz Kubot lost in the first round to the
pair of Jan-Lennard Struff and Alexander Zverev with a score of 6-2, 7-6.
Hurkacz
has gone through a mixed season. His best performance came during the Estoril
Open, where he lifted the title after beating Spain’s Pedro Martinez in the
final with a score of 6-3, 6-4. He also played in the final of the Halle Open, where he lost to the current world number one Italy’s Jannik Sinner in straight
sets with a score of 7-6, 7-6.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.
mandoist08-11-2026 - Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??mandoist08-11-2026
- Wtf? Why is there no reason? And what about the men's?Bel08-11-2026
- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
