A former top 10 player has returned to the practice court after missing the last three months of the ATP Tour.
Several players have ended their season early after a grueling ATP Tour this year, including Jack Draper following his US Open withdrawal.
The tour’s final few months have included several high-profile withdrawals, especially at the Shanghai Masters where the likes of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have missed action.
A star with eight ATP Tour trophies, who confirmed his exit from the rest of the 2025 season, has shared footage of him returning to the court.
Hubert Hurkacz shares footage from the practice courts after ending his season
Hubert Hurkacz has not been in action since withdrawing from an ATP 250 event in ‘s-Hertogenbosch in June.
The former World No. 6 then missed Wimbledon at the last-minute, after he was confirmed to be playing Billy Harris in the first round.
Hurkacz confirmed the end of his season in September, but he’s already shared footage of him on the practice courts.
Taking to Instagram, the winner of the 2023 Shanghai Masters shared footage of him hitting balls on a court in Puente Romano in Spain.
Hurkacz underwent arthroscopic surgery in June, but he’s expected to be back for the beginning of the 2026 season.
Hubert Hurkacz could infiltrate the ATP Tour top 10 again in 2026
Hurkacz has more than proved that he can brush shoulders with some of the best players in the game throughout his career.
The Pole has reached three ATP 1000 event finals in his career, winning two of them at the Miami Open and the Shanghai Masters.
The Pole also managed to turn that form into some impressive Grand Slam success, reaching the semi-finals of Wimbledon in 2021.
If Hurkacz can rekindle that kind of form, there’s every chance he can become a top 10 player again on his return.
