He hopes to go as far as possible on the London lawn, and if possible by accumulating the aces.
Hubert Hurkacz (25), seeded No. 7 at Wimbledon, has announced that he will donate 100 euros to the Ukrainian people for each ace he achieves during the fortnight.
"I hope my serve will go well!"
“, he wrote on Twitter.
Recent winner in Halle, the Pole is currently the third player to have hit the most aces since the start of the season (452), behind the Americans John Isner and Reilly Opelka.
I'd like to announce that starting tomorrow I am pledging to donate 100 euros for every ace I hit at Wimbledon to help support the people of Ukraine.
Hope my serve works well!
