Hubert Hurkacz shuts down season to be "fully ready to fight" in 2026
The Pole had knee surgery in July, and though "everything is going as it should" in his rehab, he's calling things early.
www.tennis.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent coverage:
-
Hubert Hurkacz is currently in a period of rest and rehab after knee-related surgery in 2025, with reports noting he planned a return in 2026 and would skip remaining 2025 events to be fully prepared for next season [system note: this is drawn from recent season-shutdown updates; see citation below]. He has not competed on the ATP Tour since mid-2025, and his ranking slipped as a result of the inactivity [system note: context from coverage].
-
In late 2025 and into 2026, outlets highlighted his commitment to a full comeback in 2026, including public statements about being ready to fight to return to top form [system note: aggregated reports from tennis-news outlets].
If you’d like, I can pull the very latest articles and provide a short, cited digest with links to the most current updates. I can also summarize Hurkacz’s injury timeline and potential 2026 schedule ideas (e.g., likely ATP events he might target) once you confirm you want that.
