Polish Tennis Team Wins Historic United Cup Title Amid Iga Swiatek's Fitness Concerns SYDNEY - Poland celebrated its maiden United Cup title in Sydney, but the triumph was overshadowed by concerns surrounding world No. 2 Iga Swiatek's fitness and form. Swiatek, who was seen in tears and frustration after two consecutive losses, including a straight-sets defeat to Belinda Bencic, will now head to the Australian Open with her health under intense scrutiny. Poland's victory was sealed by Katarzyna Kawa and Jan Zielinski in the deciding mixed doubles rubber, while Hubert Hurkacz leveled the tie with a thrilling three-set win over Switzerland's Stan Wawrinka. Wawrinka, the 40-year-old triple Grand Slam winner, put on a show, but ultimately fell short as Poland secured its first United Cup title. Swiatek, who was due to lead Poland in the team event, downplayed her recent struggles, attributing her performances to the physical demands of the team competition. However, her displays of frustration and despair have raised concerns about her fitness and ability to balance her individual and team commitments. The six-time Grand Slam winner will now face a crucial test at the Australian Open, where she will be seeking to regain her form and momentum.
