Hutka held a match point against Italy's Adriano Panatta in the opening round of the 1976 French Open, but lost 10–12 in the fifth set.[4] The Italian went on to win the tournament.

He made the third round of the 1977 French Open (beating Jan Šimbera and Brian Teacher) and appeared in a further three French Opens, without matching that effort.[5]
