Hurkacz adds Lendl and Massu to coaching setup

  • Posted: Nov 29, 2024

Hubert Hurkacz has bolstered his coaching setup with two new additions for the 2025 season. 

The 27-year-old has added eight-time Grand Slam champion Ivan Lendl and Olympic doubles gold medalist Nicolas Massu to his team. Lendl helped Andy Murray to three major titles, while Massu coached Dominic Thiem to the 2020 US Open crown.

“Having Nicolas Massu and Ivan Lendl as part of my team is an honor,” Hurkacz said in a statement. “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 underwent meniscus surgery to treat an injury suffered in the second round at Wimbledon, and since parted ways with longtime coach Craig Boynton, with whom he collected all eight of his tour-level titles.

“I’m very motivated and happy to begin this new chapter working with Hubi,” said Massu. “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.”

The Pole reached a career high of No. 6 in the PIF ATP Rankings in August but finished the year at No. 16 with a 40-19 win-loss record. Hurkacz will begin his 2025 season by representing Poland at the United Cup, the innovative mixed team event in which he finished as a runner-up last year.
