Injury Forces Seventh Seed Hubert Hurkacz To Quit Wimbledon Match
Poland's Hubert Hurkacz, seen as an outside tip for the Wimbledon title, was forced to quit his second-round match against Arthur Fils with a knee injury on Thursday. Seventh-seeded Hurkacz, who made the semi-finals in 2021 after ending the Wimbledon career of eight-time champion Roger Federer, hurt himself as he dived for a ball during the fourth set tie-break. After limping back to his chair on Court Two, he then continued for two more points but eventually called it quits to hand 20-year-old Fils a place in the last 32 of a Grand Slam for the first time.
