SYDNEY: No. 1-ranked Iga Swiatek won her singles match Saturday after Hubert Hurkacz gave her team the early lead over France to advance Poland to the United Cup mixed teams final. Swiatek won 4-6, 6-1, 6-1 over Caroline Garcia while ATP No. 9-ranked Hurkacz´s 6-3, 7-5 defeat of Adrian Mannarino gave them an unassailable 2-0 lead. For good measure, Poland later won the mixed doubles for a final 3-0 score line. Australia plays Germany in the other semifinal later Saturday, with the winner to face Poland in Sunday´s final, also at Sydney´s Ken Rosewall Arena. Swiatek said she need to make a “big adjustment” after her opening-set loss to Garcia. “I was making bad decisions and I needed to be more composed,” Swiatek said. “After the break after the first set I came back more focused, so I´m pretty proud of myself.” Hurkacz won 31 of 36 points on his first serve and had 15 aces. “He´s really difficult to play against; I was just fighting for every point and I was able stay positive and was really resilient today,” Hurkacz said.
