Poland is undoubtedly one of the top favorites to win the United Cup 2026... and their performance in the quarterfinals proves it.

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).
