Hubert Hurkacz has once again experienced the bitter side of withdrawal at Wimbledon. This time, the Polish tennis player was forced to retire from his match against Jan-Lennard Struff in the round of 16 due to abdominal discomfort, and during the press conference, he explained why he decided to stop playing in the fifth set.

After winning the first two sets and playing at an excellent level throughout the tournament, Hurkacz began to feel discomfort that worsened, even requesting the physio twice. Once he realized he could not continue, and with the score 4-2 behind in the fifth set, he called it quits. "We are trying to figure out what it is. It is probably a minor muscular issue. We are trying to diagnose it, and then we will see what to do. It was impossible to keep playing," he revealed.

Wimbledon, Hurkacz's cursed tournament

To make matters worse, this injury occurs at Wimbledon, where two years ago he suffered a serious knee injury that kept him away from the top rankings at a peak moment in his career. After two years of agony where he has been unable to regain his former form, this year seemed like the All England Club was the place for Hubi's redemption, but once again bad luck has struck him.

"Yes, of course, it's difficult. It just happened during the match. We were giving our all and
I think I was playing quite well. Yes, it just wasn't my day. An unfortunate ending," concluded the Polish player. Fortunately for him, it seems that this time the injury will not be as serious, so he will be able to return to playing soon to continue climbing in the rankings.
