In January 2022, he made his debut participating as part of the Polish team at the 2022 ATP Cup, where he played doubles with Zieliński and won against Georgia and Argentina. After Hurkacz's win over Diego Schwartzman sealed the victory for Poland over Argentina the Polish team advanced to the semifinals.[1] The pair won again against Spain in doubles but the team did not advance to the finals.
