2020 Breakthrough Star: Hubert Hurkacz

[megamind]

Currently ranked #35
Age: 22 years old

He's been gaining momentum, and I believe he can reach the top ten next year!

This summer he has beaten Tsitsipas, F Lopez, Tiafoe, Shapovalov, Paire, and Monfils

We all expect King Medvedev to take his throne next year, but watch out for Hubert!

POLISH POWER

 

[UnderratedSlam]

So do we call him Hu-Hu then?

 

[UnderratedSlam]

He appears to be too lethargic to be a great slam champ. Not enough fight in him. He is like a 21st-century Volkov. Czech players anyway generally underachieve...

Yeah, it's not like he's Polish or something

 

[Shaolin]

He looks like Michael Cera.

 

[gn]

I like his playing style. It reminds me of someone!

 

[Bukowski]

Does he really close his eyes like that every time?

 

[fundrazer]

The most polished player.

He looks like Michael Cera.

thinner version of Michael Cera perhaps

 

[James P]

I like his game. Not sure how much further he can break out. Guess we'll have to see. He's still pretty young, so time to improve.

 

[UnderratedSlam]

When I was in Poland I was sure I was in the Czech Republic and vice versa. Happens all the time...

If he's Polish then that's even worse. They have such a huge tradition in tennis...

Dude are you really this ignorant?

Asks me if I'm ignorant...

Starts off sentence with "dude"... Omits a coma after "dude"...

The Berrettini Effect. It's in all the medical journals. Incurable.

whats wrong with the word "dude". Its a tennis forum ffs. We are not discussing politics or economics where that term would be inappropriate.

It doesn't look like Hurkacz were to have a major breakthrough in 2020 and I think it's quite a bold prediction. This autumn in particular was quite a letdown for Hubert. Only in Shanghai he won some matches in all other events he lost in the first rounds.

PS: seems we're not discussing geography either...

If you need to ask that, you won't understand the answer anyway.

Murray Goat?

Murray Goat?

Yes. But he is no mury goat.

 

[megamind]

Well, maybe he'll be a 2021 breakthrough star!

 

[Druss]

In two years he’s gone from world No35 to No28. Seems like he’s struggling to break though to the top.

Hard due to covid situation + 2 yr ranking. Could enter top 20 if he wins miami

 

[megamind]

Bumparoni for our masters 1000 boi!!!!

I watched the Miami final and while I don't care for HH's game style, he seems like a really nice, down to earth, humble person. Reminds me physically and vocally like Andy Murray. He's quirky and cute!
