THE PREDICTION
This match is exactly what the inaugural United Cup was intended to produce as world number one Iga Swiatek and world number 10 Hubert Hurkacz join forces to face another rising tennis nation in Italy, with Camilla Rosatello set to join one of Lorenzo Musetti or – most likely – Matteo Berrettini. Swiatek got play underway on Wednesday with a comfortable straight-sets win over Martina Trevisan before Musetti blasted past Poland’s beleaguered third option ATP player Daniel Michalski to level things up. World number 16 Matteo Berrettini then backed up his victory over Casper Ruud in the Group Stages with a huge three-set victory over Hurkacz before Magda Linette, Poland’s unlikely hero so far at the United Cup, dominated Lucia Bronzetti to take the tie to a deciding doubles thriller. In the likelihood that both nations field their strongest duos here we will likely see Swiatek and Hurkacz face Berrettini and Rosatello, perhaps Bronzetti or Trevisan if they feel eager to avenge their defeats.
In this case, Poland are the clear favourites to reach the semi-finals of the United Cup with a well-balanced and powerful partnership. Swiatek should dominate whomever she faces on her side of the court and Hurkacz is already a proven doubles player with two Masters titles to his name. Back Poland to win this match outright to take a 3-2 result through to the semi-finals.
