Hubert Hurkacz ustrzelony przez... Bena Sheltona. Na szczęście Polak wyszedł cało i zdrowo z tej nieprzyjemnej sytuacji 😅 #LaverCup
Poland’s tennis star Hubert Hurkacz suffered a serious blow to his private part during the Laver Cup 2023 doubles tie.
The tournament is underway in Vancouver, Canada where Team Europe is taking on the Team World.
During the first set of the doubles encounter, Hurkacz suffered a blow to his private part when America’s Ben Shelton returned the shot of France’s Gal Monfils.
The 26-year-old ended up falling to the ground following that incident and was helped by his partner to get up to resume the match.
It was the pair of Shelton and Canada’s Felix Auger Aliassime who came out on top in straight sets with a score of 7-5, 6-4.
That result paved the way for Team World to win the Laver Cup once again. The title was eventually sealed after Shelton and America’s Frances Tiafoe managed to beat Russia’s Andrey Rublev and Hurkacz in straight sets with a score of 7-6, 7-6.
The victory was a special one as it was the second time when the Team World emerged victorious in the competition.
In the first four editions, it was Team Europe who came out on top on every occasion, and that too in a comprehensive manner.
