The team secured against China in the second match
World No. 1, Iga Swiatek continues to show an absurd level of tennis in the first tournament of the season, at the United Cup, in Perth, Australia, on hard courts.
The Pole guaranteed her country a place in the semi-finals of the mixed team competition this Wednesday with another devastating victory. This time she defeated the world’s 15th-ranked Qinwen Zheng 6/2 6/3 in 1h34min on Center Court.
Swiatek started broken and down 2-0, but played nine games in a row to take a 6/2 3/0 lead. Zheng tried to recover, responding to the break and equalizing at 3-3 after Iga’s errors, but the Pole broke again in the eighth game due to an error by the Asian and closed on serve. Swiatek played three matches in the tournament and lost only 12 matches.
In the first game of the match, ninth-ranked Hubert Hurkacz beat 58th-ranked Zhizhen Zhang, 6/3 6/4, opening the scoring for the Polish team who await France or Norway in the semi-final to be played at the weekend in Sydney , in Australia.
