United Cup 2026: Swiatek and Hurkacz's Poland leaves the host behind to advance to the semifinals
Poland is undoubtedly one of the top favorites to win the United Cup 2026... and their performance in the quarterfinals proves it. They didn't have an easy match against the host, Australia, with an in-form Alex de Miñaur; it came down to the mixed doubles, where they showed superiority to advance to the semifinals. The series started with a comfortable victory for Iga Swiatek over Maya Joint (6-1, 6-1), a statement of how Iga arrives in Melbourne; Hubert Hurkacz came close to sealing the deal but faced a tireless Alex de Miñaur in a spectacular match (6-4, 4-6, 6-4), and in the mixed doubles, there was no contest, with an undeniable win by Jan Zielinski and Katerina Kawa against John-Patrick Smith and Storm Hunter (6-4, 6-0). Poland will face the United States in the semifinals, a rematch of last year's final.
