At the Cincinnati Masters, Hubert was stretched to the third set in the first-round clash by Davidovich Fokina. Despite losing the second set in the tie-breaker, the Polish tennis star made a thumping comeback and won the third set without much hassle.

However, he has started strongly in the Cincinnati Open. He defeated Richard Gasquet in his first round in straight sets by 6-4, 6-4.
