Hubert Hurkacz Demands Action Against Polish Tennis Federation President

Hubert Hurkacz and fellow Polish tennis player Iga Swiatek are demanding action against Polish Tennis Federation president Mirosław Skrzypczynski, who faces allegations of abusing junior players.

Polish MP Katarzyna Kotula came forward with allegations of being sexually assaulted by Skrzypczynski when she was 13.

Skrzypczynski has denied the allegations, calling them "unfounded".

As a prominent Polish tennis player, Hurkacz is using his platform to speak out against abuse and support victims.

Hurkacz, currently ranked No. 10 in the ATP rankings, issued a statement opposing the abuse of power by coaches or guardians of players.

The Polish tennis federation, an ITF member, is under pressure to take action against Skrzypczynski.

Swiatek, the WTA No. 1, also called for governing bodies to determine what happened and take necessary steps.

The allegations were first revealed by Polish website Onet, which published anonymous accounts of juniors being sexually abused under Skrzypczynski's supervision.

Kotula described herself as a 13-year-old "sexually assaulted a dozen times during three years" and provided a detailed account of the abuse.

Hurkacz hopes the appropriate authorities will react to the allegations and take action.

The incident has sparked a wider conversation about abuse in tennis and the need for greater accountability.

Skrzypczynski's response to the allegations has been criticized, with many calling for his resignation.

The Polish tennis federation has yet to comment on the allegations or take any action against Skrzypczynski.

As the investigation continues, Hurkacz and Swiatek remain vocal in their support for the victims and their demand for justice.

The ATP and WTA have also been called upon to take action and support the players in their efforts to hold Skrzypczynski accountable.

The allegations against Skrzypczynski are a reminder of the need for greater protection and support for junior players in tennis.

Hurkacz and Swiatek's statements have been widely praised, with many commending their bravery and commitment to justice.

The outcome of the investigation and any subsequent actions will be closely watched by the tennis community.
