Have we found the only person on the planet who doesn't like Hubert Hurkacz?

The affable Pole has spent more than a hearty chunk of time signing autographs and taking pictures with fans this week at the Rolex Shanghai Masters, but his most recent meet-and-greet went off the rails when a fan asked him to take a picture with his baby.

Just like many popes and politicians before him, Hukacz was more than happy to do it ... but the little fan had other ideas. More than calm when being held in the stands, the baby started to cry the minute Hurkacz took over.

"Sorry!" Hurkacz exclaimed as the youngster, clad in a blue Mickey Mouse shirt, started to wail as the photo was taken. "The baby doesn't like me!"

There were no hard feelings, though: As the fan who made the ask apologized to Hurkacz for what happened, and thanked him for his time nonetheless, the world No. 17 offered him a thumbs up.

Crying babies aside, Hurkacz has certainly liked Shanghai in his third career visit, and first since 2019.

He's through to his second ATP Masters 1000 semifinal of the season, and sixth of his career, at the Qizhong Forest Sports City Arena after four wins against Thanasi Kokkinakis, Hsu Yu Hsiou, Zhang Zhizhen and Fabian Marozsan.

Hurkacz outlasted Chinese No. 1 Zhang in a third-set tiebreak in the fourth round, and against Marsozsan, came from a set down in a 4-6, 6-1, 6-3 quarterfinal win.

He'll face American Sebastian Korda Saturday in the hopes of reaching his third career ATP Masters 1000 final.
