Hubert Hurkacz pisze historię w Roland Garros: niesamowite zwycięstwo nad światową dwójką (Hubert Hurkacz Makes History at Roland Garros: Stunning Upset Over World No. 2)

Hubert Hurkacz enters Roland Garros 2025 riding a wave of momentum and intrigue after pushing Novak Djokovic to the brink in last week’s Geneva Open final and drawing teenage sensation João Fonseca in the Paris first round. The 28-year-old Pole served for the Geneva title before a late lapse allowed Djokovic to escape 5-7, 7-6(2), 7-6(2), yet the performance underlined how far Hurkacz’s all-court game has evolved since adding legends Ivan Lendl and Nicolás Massú to his coaching team this season. Seeded No. 8 in Paris, Hurkacz leads the ATP Tour in aces per match in 2025 and ranks top-5 in first-serve points won, numbers that make him a dark-horse pick to disrupt the Big Three’s dominance on clay. His draw opens against 17-year-old Brazilian wild card Fonseca, whose lightning-fast forehand powered him to last year’s junior crown. U.S. oddsmakers still list Hurkacz a heavy favorite, pricing him at –450 on the money line and +4000 to win the tournament outright. Beyond the numbers, Hurkacz’s improved aggression inside the baseline—highlighted by 22 forehand winners in the Geneva final—has many analysts wondering whether Paris could deliver his long-awaited Grand Slam breakthrough. Should he pass Fonseca, potential clashes with clay-savvy foes Casper Ruud and Stefanos Tsitsipas loom before a projected quarter-final rematch with Djokovic. Off court, the mild-mannered Wrocław native continues to attract global fans with behind-the-scenes vlogs that showcase his plant-based diet and puzzle-solving hobby, content that now garners millions of views each week. Combined with a career prize-money tally exceeding $16 million and recent partnerships with Wilson’s new Clash v3 racket line, Hurkacz’s brand is surging alongside his results.
