Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal
Number one Polish tennis player on the ATP circuit, Hubert Hurkacz, grew up idolizing Roger Federer. As a child, he tried imitating all his on-court skills. Even to this day, he practices hard to hit the perfect tweener just as the Swiss maestro does.
“My coach Craig here didn’t want me to do this shot. So I was doing a drill here, practicing this shot (tweener) and he would tell me that you’re missing almost all of them,” Hubert Hurkacz told Essentially Sports in an exclusive interview.
