As the two worlds of tennis and art collide in Tribeca for a two-night opening party, the sound of a very distinct engine was roaring just outside.

It was other than Hubert Hurkacz, stepping out of the driver’s seat of a Triple Crown Wrap McLaren GT and into the gallery to join Ted Dimond’s celebration of tennis through art.

Hurkacz poses with Dimond (left) next to the McLaren and holding the portrait.

“It’s insane, being a kid growing up Poland and having the P1 on my wall—which is still there—to now being able to drive these dream cars on track… To drive at the speed of one of my serves was quite the experience,” said Hurkacz.

Dimond proceeded to unveil Hurkacz’s very own portrait from his 2021 victory of Jannik Sinner in the Miami Open.

The Hurkacz portrait captures his 2021 Miami Open victory over Jannik Sinner.

After signing the portrait and making his way to view the other paintings of top players like Serena Williams, Novak Djokovic, and Rafael Nadal, Hurkacz was eager to take his portrait for a ride.

The attempt to fit the portrait into the McLaren was short-lived, with Dimond joking, “who said a McLaren couldn’t fit two Hubi Hurkaczes?”

Earlier in the evening, Dimond unveiled the first two portraits of the evening for players he’s known since they first started playing: Noah Rubin and Jamie Loeb.

Two pieces from Anisimova's personal collection that she hopes to auction off for charity.

Later on, Amanda Anisimova stopped by to see her own art on the wall alongside Dimond’s.

“As I pursued my tennis career, I began to feel like something was missing in my life,” Anisimova wrote. “Art became my place to unwind and disconnect from the world…I realized it was more than just a hobby.”

Anisimova will be donating the proceeds from her paintings to several charitable causes including mental health, child abuse, and hunger relief.

Other paintings in the gallery include the biggest stadiums in the world alongside portraits of the biggest players in the sport.

She envisions having her own charitable foundation in her future, as it is “a dream come true to combine [her] love for tennis and art to help those in need.”

Dimond’s opening night with Rubin, Loeb, Anisimova and Hurkacz was a success, and the two-night event lingers on with tennis fans and artists all of whom are gearing up for the US Open.
