Hubert Hurkacz met with a painful accident during one of the games of Laver Cupwhich accidentally hit the private part of Ben Shelton. Unintentionally, the American hit a strong forehand in the lower part of the Polish tennis player, who did not move in the way or put the racket in front of his body in time..

Hubert inevitably fell to the ground in great pain, to the general surprise of the bench and among the people in the stands. His teammate Gael Monfils immediately rushed to his aidtrying to quickly recover the Warsaw native.

And apologies immediately came from the young talented American, who naturally had no intention of completely hitting the athlete.especially in a sensitive area.

The episode occurred in the second game of the match and did not affect the Polish tennis player’s performance during the match.

In the end it was Ben Shelton and Felix Auger-Aliassime who won with a final score of 7-5, 6-4, taking the last two points to clinch the second day of competition. Thanks to the success of the American couple, the World team led by John McEnroe has reached 10-2 and is in sight of the finish line.

In fact, just one victory was enough for the team in red to become champions at Rogers Arena in Vancouver. Tiafoe and Shelton will then try doubles to effectively end the match. If lost, and this is the second in the entire competition, because so far only Casper Ruud has brought points for the European team, it will be up to Taylor Fritz to try to get the decisive success..

Here is the video released by X on the @z_kortu account of what happened:

On the other hand, Gael Monfils did not taste much of the criticism received in the last few hours on social media, which was triggered after the dispute he had on the pitch with Felix Auger-Aliassime.

The expert French tennis player decided to write a long message on social media to express his disappointment: “I am tired of these incessant and pointless controversies.

Some people seem to get excited about trivial things. I hate people who are so quick to judge.

Some might think that because I’m smiling and having fun, I’m not serious. Of course, my perspective may be different, but I always try to follow the guidelines given to me. At 37 I’m just trying to make the most of every moment.
