Top-ranked Iga Swiatek’s Poland will play Germany in the United Cup final after contrasting semifinal wins on Saturday.

Swiatek won her singles match over Caroline Garcia after Hubert Hurkacz gave Poland the early lead over France to advance them to the mixed teams final.

Germany edged host Australia 2-1 with a victory in the mixed doubles in a night session that ended around 2:20am local time.

Angelique Kerber gave Germany a 1-0 lead after saving two match points in a 4-6, 6-2, 7-6 (7) win over Ajla Tomljanovic. Alex de Minaur beat Alexander Zverev 5-7, 6-3, 6-4 in the men’s singles to level the semifinal for the host nation.

Zverev returned for the mixed doubles and combined with Laura Siegmund to help Germany seal it in an epic match tie-breaker which ended 7-6 (7-2), 6-7 (2-7), 15-13 after 2 hours, 20 minutes.

The German pair converted their fifth match point, after saving two when Storm Hunter sent a forehand long.

It was a long night at Sydney’s Ken Rosewall Arena after a relatively straightforward day session.

Swiatek won 4-6, 6-1, 6-1 over Garcia after ATP No. 9-ranked Hurkacz beat Adrian Mannarino 6-3, 7-5 to give Poland an unassailable 2-0 lead. For good measure, Poland later won the mixed doubles for a final 3-0 score line.

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.
