Despite a promising junior career, which included the junior world No. 1 ranking and comparisons to Rafael Nadal, Kubler has spent the majority of his professional career on the lower circuits due to a hereditary knee condition that results in weakened meniscus around the joints. The condition has plagued Kubler throughout his career, resulting in six knee surgeries. Kubler also spent four years of his professional career playing exclusively on clay courts to avoid further structural damage to his knees.
