From Court To Track: Hurkacz Cruises In Miami Ahead Of Formula 1

Spoiler:

Pole is a big fan of Formula 1, with Miami Grand Prix taking place on Sunday 8 May
ATP Tour star Hubert Hurkacz recently swapped the tennis court for the racetrack as he sped around the Miami Grand Prix course ahead of the upcoming Formula 1 meeting in Florida.

The Pole, who triumphed at the ATP Masters 1000 event in Miami in 2021, revealed that he is a big fan of F1 and cars and showed off his driving skills as he cruised around the circuit in a McLaren.


“I really love Formula 1,” Hurkacz said while driving. “I have always loved cars. Those are the fastest cars that are on the planet, so seeing those guys race at full speed is really exciting.

“It is going to be amazing, especially here in Miami. The drivers will really enjoy it and the fans. It seems like it is going to be quite a quick track, so hopefully there will be some overtaking.”

The Miami Grand Prix will start on Sunday, 8 May at 9:30 p.m. CET/ 3:30 p.m. ET. It is the first time a Grand Prix has taken place in Florida.

Sinner, Hurkacz Ease Through Roland Garros Openers

Spoiler:

Jannik Sinner and Hubert Hurkacz enjoyed smooth starts to their Roland Garros campaigns with a pair of straightforward, straight-sets victories on Tuesday. The 11th-seeded Sinner cruised past American Bjorn Fratangelo, 6-3, 6-2, 6-3, shortly after 12th seed Hurkacz defeated Italian qualifier Giulio Zeppieri, 7-5, 6-2, 7-5.

Playing on Court 7, Sinner extended his perfect record to 3-0 in the first round in Paris. The Italian reached the quarter-finals on debut in 2020 and followed that up with a fourth-round run last year, losing to 13-time champion Rafael Nadal both times. He's now 8-2 at Roland Garros, his best mark at a Grand Slam both in terms of match wins and win percentage.

The 20-year-old controlled the contest against Fratangelo with early breaks in all three sets, firing a forehand winner — one of his 32 total winners — to edge ahead in the opener. He was particularly dominant on first serve, winning 80 per cent (37/46) of those points, and erased the only two break points he faced midway through the final set as his opponent mounted a last-gasp comeback attempt.

Bolstered by passionate fan support, Sinner advanced in the draw's bottom quarter to face Spain's Roberto Carballes Baena, who defeated Oscar Otte, 7-6(5), 6-1, 3-6, 2-6, 6-3. Looking ahead to the third round, he could meet 22nd seed Nikoloz Basilashvili or another American in Mackenzie McDonald.

Hurkacz did not face a break point on Court 6 against Zeppieri and converted on five of his 11 break chances. The Pole broke in three of four return games from 5-all in the opening set to take command of the match. His dominance on serve was demonstrated by a 78 per cent win rate on first serve (40/51) and an even better 83 per cent mark on second serve (25/30). Hurkacz served out each set to love and finished the contest with a clean 36-to-16 winners-to-errors count.

Playing in the third quarter of the draw, which is headed by fourth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas, Hurkacz awaits Marco Cecchinato in the second round after the Italian outlasted Pablo Andujar, 4-6, 4-6, 6-0, 7-5, 6-0. Should he advance to the third round, he would face either 24th seed Frances Tiafoe or David Goffin.

The Pole was a quarter-finalist at the clay ATP Masters 1000s in Monte Carlo and Madrid this season and reached the semis in his title defence at the Miami Masters 1000 event and in Dubai. But he has never been beyond the second round at Roland Garros, his progress this year matching his previous best Paris result in 2018. Hurkacz's best Grand Slam showing was a semi-final run last year at Wimbledon; he has not been beyond the second round at any of the other three majors.

Hurkacz Breaks New Ground At Roland Garros

Spoiler:

Hubert Hurkacz hadn’t experienced much joy at Roland Garros prior to this week, having lost in the opening round of his past three appearances. But the No. 12 seed is finding his footing in Paris, breezing past Marco Cecchinato 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 for his maiden third-round appearance at this event.

The 25-year-old was in top form against Cecchinato, firing 30 winners to 13 errors and cruising through all of his service games. Hurkacz broke his opponent five times en route to advancing in one hour and 29 minutes.

Hurkacz has been particularly dominant on serve so far this fortnight. He didn't face a break point in his first two rounds, winning 82 per cent of first-serve points (78/95) and hitting 15 aces to three double faults.

The Pole has won more Tour-level matches on clay in the past month (eight) than all of his other seasons on Tour combined (six). He reached back-to-back ATP Masters 1000 quarter-finals on clay this year in Monte-Carlo and Madrid.
