Poland Advances to United Cup Final

Iga Swiatek and Hubert Hurkacz led Poland to the United Cup final with a 2-0 victory over Kazakhstan. Swiatek, the world number two, defeated Elena Rybakina in a challenging match, highlighting her readiness for the upcoming Australian Open. Hurkacz secured the first win for Poland by defeating Alexander Shevchenko, demonstrating improved form after earlier losses. Poland, last year's runners-up, will face either the United States or the Czech Republic in the final. The United Cup serves as a preparatory event for the Australian Open, starting January 12. Swiatek and Hurkacz's performances are pivotal as Poland aims to claim the championship this year.
