Hurkacz spent the last few months away from professional competitions due to an injury. He last appeared on the court in June last year, and his return to the game was postponed several times. During this time, he had the opportunity to devote himself to other interests, but he did not hide the fact that he missed competition.
Hubert Hurkacz might not play tennis anymore. He has a considerable fortune
A long break due to injury caused Hubert Hurkacz to drop in the ATP rankings. Before the injury, he was among the top ten best tennis players in the world, currently he is in 83rd place and once again has to fight to return to the top. His successful performances at the United Cup in January sparked a wave of enthusiasm among tennis fans. An unexpected defeat in the Australian Open may thwart plans to quickly return to the top tennis players in the world.

However, it is certain that Hurkacz has not lost his high position among the highest-earning Polish athletes. As calculated by tennis.net.pl, Hurkacz earned over USD 19 million on the courts, i.e. the equivalent of nearly PLN 69 million.
It is also worth mentioning that in addition to prizes won at tournaments, Hurkacz's fortune is also increased by sponsorship contracts and investments. As he admitted in an interview with autokult.pl, Hurkacz was fascinated by technology and the passion of the creators of the McLaren brand from an early age. This manufacturer is a brand that is particularly close to the heart of the Polish tennis player, so it should not be surprising that Hubert Hurkacz became the ambassador of the luxury car manufacturer in 2021.
