Hubert Hurkacz Donates for Poland Flood Relief

Polish tennis star Hubert Hurkacz has pledged to donate €100 for every ace he serves until the end of the season to support recovery efforts for victims of recent devastating floods in Poland. The floods, caused by Storm Boris, have resulted in at least 23 deaths and significant destruction across Central Europe, particularly near the Czech-Polish border. Hurkacz, currently ranked eighth in the ATP, emphasized that sport is a platform for making an impact, launching the initiative under the hashtag #acesforaid. Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced that Poland will mobilize up to 23 billion zlotys ($6.02 billion) to address the aftermath of the flooding, with some funding sourced from the European Union. Hurkacz's effort follows similar calls for support from compatriot Iga Swiatek, who has also urged fans to contribute to relief efforts. Currently seeded second at the Tokyo Open, Hurkacz is set to compete against Marcos Giron in the next round.
