Hubert Hurkacz played exceptionally well at the Miami Open 2021 and emerged as the winner of the tournament. He defeated the in-form Jannik Sinner in the finals after eliminating World No.5 Stefanos Tsitsipas from the competition. With his win, he also became the first male Polish player to win the Miami Open.

As the new players are emerging out in the sport, it has once again started the debate of a possible ‘take over’. With players like Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic reaching their mid-thirties, is it the time for players like Hubert Hurkacz to take over their legacy?

In a recent interview, Hurkacz revealed that he was a huge fan of Nadal, Djokovic, and Roger Federer when he was a kid. He mentioned that he watches them during their training and thus believes that they are not going to end their careers so soon.

“I was a huge fan of Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic when I was younger and have followed their performances and now have the opportunity to compete with them in the tour. I also watch them at tournaments and trainings and I know that they will not end their careers so soon,” said Hurkacz in the interview. (Translated by Google Translate)

The Polish player also expressed his desire to compete with the ‘Big Three’ more on the tour.

“That’s good because I would like to meet each of them again – and it’s best to win!” added the Miami Open 2021 winner.

The Miami Open 2021 winner claimed that there are many young and talented players coming up. He feels that it’ll be a long and good competition as all of them have the hunger to be the No.1 player in the world.

“Among the younger tennis players there are many talented boys and each of them will want to be at the top. It will be a long and good competition,” concluded the 31-year-old.
