Matkowski trusting Hurkacz to deliver in ATP Cup

Hubert Hurkacz has played extremely well for Poland at the ATP Cup so far and captain Marcin Matkowski has high hopes for the 2022 edition.

Poland took part in the ATP Cup two years ago and Hurkacz was brilliant winning all three of his singles matches but the nation failed to win the crucial doubles ties ending the competition early. Captain Matkowski believes that experience will do them well in 2022:

“The guys came on 26 December, so they have already had a few good days of practice. We played two years ago, and we have great experience and great memories from that. We played three very close matches. This year, we came [to Sydney] with the thought of having better results. [It] won't be easy, but we are confident if we are playing our best we can win [this time].”

Hurkacz is the leader of the team and by far teh best player on the team. He said:

“It's great to be here with the whole team. I mean, it's so much fun. All of us bring, I think, great energy, and we will definitely enjoy it here and, hopefully, we'll get many wins.”

Team Captain Matkowski further added:

“If it's not 2-0, [but] 1-1, I think we have a very good chance of winning a tie whoever goes on court. We are confident we can learn from our experience two years ago and obviously… it’s not a problem for Hubert to play if he's needed in two matches."
