Hubert Hurkacz Withdraws from Wimbledon Due to Knee Injury

Hubert Hurkacz has withdrawn from Wimbledon 2025 due to a knee issue. On June 27, Hurkacz announced his decision to withdraw from the tournament.

What happened?

Hurkacz cited knee irritation as the reason for his withdrawal, which is part of his ongoing recovery from recent surgery.

Why it matters for Hubert Hurkacz

The Polish tennis player had been preparing for Wimbledon but his body reacted with irritation of the synovial membrane, requiring rest and appropriate treatment.

What comes next?

Hurkacz was set to face Billy Harris of Great Britain in the first round but was replaced by Dusan Obradovic of Serbia in the men's singles draw.

Hurkacz had torn his meniscus in his right knee at Wimbledon last year and also withdrew from the Libema Open earlier this month due to a back injury.

On June 27, Hurkacz stated that it was not easy to step away from such a prestigious tournament but he knew it was the right decision for his long-term health and performance.

The decision to withdraw from Wimbledon 2025 will likely impact Hurkacz's ranking, as he is currently ranked No. 39.

Hurkacz's withdrawal from Wimbledon is a setback for the Polish tennis player, who had been looking to make a strong showing at the tournament.

The men's singles draw will now feature Dusan Obradovic of Serbia instead of Hurkacz, with Obradovic set to face Billy Harris of Great Britain in the first round.
