Hubert Hurkacz is raising awareness for Poland following recent flooding in the southwest part of the country. As a state of emergency is declared, Poland’s highest-ranked male player is using the remainder of his season to support recovery efforts.
“Starting today and until the end of the season, I will be donating €100 for every ace I hit to support those affected by the devastating floods in Poland,” Hurkacz wrote on social media last week.
“For me, sport is not just a competition, but also a platform to drive impact. #acesforaid.”
So far, Hurkacz has already hit 17 aces for the cause–and that was all in one match. His first-round match in Tokyo against American Marcos Giron was a three-set thriller that went in favor of the Pole.
