Hubert Hurkacz debuts bear-y cute accessory at United Cup

Hubert Hurkacz hasn't just been taking the United Cup by storm thanks to Team Poland's play on the court. A bear-y cute accessory on his feet has stolen the show.

After matches this week, Hurkacz has opted to swap his tennis sneakers for a pair of white, plastic sandals by Ralph Lauren that feature a cuddly teddy bear. While misidentified by a reporter in one of Poland's press conference as Paddington Bear, in fact, the shoes in fact feature Ralph Lauren's "Cayson Beach Bear," and the plastic slide sandals retail for $70.

The "classic pool slide," according to the retailer's website, "features Ralph Lauren’s iconic mascot, dressed for the beach in his Polo best."

According to Hurkacz, though, there's no special meaning behind the shoes.

"Just went to the store and they appealed to me, so I got them," he said with a smile after the Poles blanked China 3-0 in Wednesday's United Cup quarterfinals.

Iga Swiatek is a fan, too: "They're just cool," she added with a grin.

But if any tennis fan out there is looking to pick up a pair for themselves, we're sorry to tell you that you're out of luck: The slides are sold out online, as they nearly were in-store before Polish captain Tomasz Wiktorowski revealed that Hurkacz snagged "the last pair," that, luckily, was in his size.

Will they get a restock if Hurkacz helps Poland win the United Cup?
