Fresh Start: Hurkacz Parts Ways with Yonex for Wilson-Adidas Combo

In a significant equipment change that has caught the tennis world’s attention, Polish tennis star Hubert Hurkacz has made a complete transition from his previous Yonex setup to a new combination of Wilson racquets and Adidas apparel. The world-class player, known for his powerful serve and aggressive baseline game, has been spotted wielding what appears to be a new Wilson frame during recent practice sessions

The switch marks a notable departure for Hurkacz, who had previously been associated with Yonex for both his racquet and apparel needs. His move to Adidas for clothing and footwear aligns him with other top players in the sport, while the transition to Wilson places him among the manufacturer’s impressive roster of professional players. Standing at 6’5″ (195 cm), Hurkacz’s powerful game style should benefit from Wilson’s renowned racquet technology

While the exact Wilson model remains under speculation, early observations suggest it could be either an H19 or Ultra Pro variant. The timing of this equipment change is particularly strategic, coming at the start of the 2024 season, allowing Hubert Hurkacz adequate time to adapt to his new setup before the year’s major tournaments.
