Hubert Hurkacz bows to Jannik Sinner: "I learn from you"
After losing the Halle ATP final, Hubert Hurkacz è bowed to champion Jannik Sinner: "Congratulations Jannik, you and your team are doing an incredible job, you are an inspiration and I try to learn from you. Thank you to everyone who supports me, è it has been a good week".
The Pole could not do anything against the South Tyrolean who swept him with the result of 7-6 7-6. Rather hard-fought in the first set, in the second, however, there was no history: Sinner played perfectly, making very few mistakes. For the champion è the first career title on grass.
Now head to Wimbledon, which will be played from July 1 to 14. Staggering prize money: the All England Club, which organizes the Grand Slam's only tournament on grass, has put up a total prize pool that amounts to 50 million pounds, about 59 million euros at today's exchange rate. The champions and runners-up in men’s and women’s singles will receive 2.7 million pounds (3.2 million euros) and 1.4 million pounds (1.7 million euros), respectively. Each tennis player who participates in the first round will start from a prize base of 60 thousand pounds (71'000 euros). Prizes for the men’s and women’s doubles champions will also go up (£650'000, or €770'000).
