Alexander Zverev suffered his first defeat of the year in a resounding manner against Hubert Hurkacz at the United Cup 2026 by 6-3, 6-4. The German appeared frustrated throughout the entire match and during one of the breaks, he unleashed his anger at the effectiveness of the Polish player's serve, which he couldn't break throughout the match: "Why am I not serving? No, he hasn't played for two fucking years, and he's serving at 230 km/h. In the evening, when it's cold, damn, it's insane. The guy can barely walk, and he's serving like that," asserted the world number three before losing the match.
