Hubert Hurkacz announced earlier this week that he is adding Ivan Lendl and Nicolas Massu to his coaching team in advance of the 2025 season.
“Having Nicolas Massu and Ivan Lendl as part of my team is an honor,” Hurkacz stated. “Their knowledge and dedication inspire me to work harder than ever, and I’m ready to put in the hard work. I’m excited and optimistic for season 2025 and beyond. This has been a year of ups and downs; I’ve learned a lot and grown a lot, and I can finally say I am fully healthy and ready for the challenges ahead.”
Hurkacz had previously been working with Craig Boynton. The 27-year-old Pole climbed to a career-high ranking of No. 6 in the world this summer, but a knee injury suffered at Wimbledon cost him a chance at qualifying for the Nitto ATP Finals and sent him down to his current mark of No. 16.
With a pair of veteran coaches now in his corner, Hurkacz hopes to make a quick return trip to the top 10. Lendl and Massu are no strangers to working with winners. Lendl had multiple stints in Andy Murray’s box, while Massu was Dominic Thiem’s coach during the Austrian’s peak–including the 2020 U.S. Open title.
“I’m very motivated and happy to begin this new chapter working with Hubi,” Massu commented. “He is not only a great person but also a true professional. I’m excited to join his team and believe that together we can achieve great things. I’m also looking forward to starting the pre-season in Florida alongside Ivan.”
