Hubert Hurkacz, the Polish tennis star, has revealed the reasons behind his decision to withdraw from the Munich tournament. The player, who has been facing challenges both on and off the court, cited a combination of physical and personal factors that influenced his choice.
Hurkacz has been dealing with a knee injury that has impacted his performance in recent months. Despite undergoing treatment and making efforts to recover, he admitted that he is not yet in optimal condition to compete at the highest level. The decision to skip Munich was made to prioritize his health and focus on long-term recovery.
Additionally, Hurkacz has been navigating changes in his coaching setup, which have added complexity to his preparations. With new strategies and adjustments underway, he felt it was best to take a step back and regroup before returning to the competitive circuit.
While his absence from Munich is disappointing for fans, Hurkacz remains optimistic about his future in tennis. He expressed gratitude for the support he has received and is determined to come back stronger in upcoming tournaments. His focus on recovery and adaptation highlights his commitment to achieving success in the sport.
This was his message:
“I’ve decided to skip Munich. It’s been a period of hard work behind the scenes, and I’m seeing the kind of progress I’ve been looking for. Truth is, I want to return to the court feeling 100% confident, healthy, and fully ready. I’m getting there, and I’ll be back soon! As always, thanks for the support.”
