THE PREDICTION

So much of this match rests on whether Hubert Hurkacz can keep the tie alive at the start of Day 2 of this exciting tie and so waiting for that result to come in is key here as If USA take an unassailable 3-0 lead at this stage of the competition it is unclear if they will even continue the tie. If Hurkacz does beat Taylor Fritz, Poland will have all their hopes once again resting on unlikely hero Magda Linette, who has won all three of her matches this week to help anchor the side ahead of two crucial Mixed doubles deciders. The world number 48 only recently stunned world number 11 Madison Keys at international level with a brilliant individual campaign at the Billie Jean King Cup last November and it is an odd trick of fate to see a rematch so soon. 27-year-old Keys is by far the highest-ranked second option on the WTA side of the United Cup and she has also won her three matches so far, although a dropped set to Katie Swan last time out leaves room for improvement.

Keys and Linette share a 1-1 head-to-head record from two matches last year and Keys took at least a set in each, so follow that useful alternative to picking a winner here.
