Staff USA has accomplished a 5-0 semifinal drubbing of Poland to emphatically underline its United Cup title credentials.
Key factors:
- Taylor Fritz and Madison Keys gained their respective singles rubbers for the US
- A victory within the blended doubles iced the 5-0 tie outcome
- The US will play both Italy or Greece within the remaining
A 6-7 (5/7), 6-4, 10-6 mixed-doubles victory for Taylor Fritz and Jessica Pegula over veteran Łukasz Kubot and teenager Alicja Rosolska rounded out one other American clear sweep in Sydney.
The US will enter Sunday’s remaining towards both Italy or Greece, having dropped solely two rubbers out of 20 in its 4 ties up to now on the mixed-teams occasion.
Their tie was already sealed earlier than the blended doubles rubber after Fritz edged Hubert Hurkacz 7-6 (7/5), 7-6 (7/5) in two tight tie-break units earlier on Saturday to present the US an unassailable 3-0 lead.
Madison Keys then routed Magda Linette 6-4, 6-2 to stay unbeaten in 4 Cup singles matches, earlier than Fritz and Pegula rallied from a set down to finish the whitewash below a closed roof at Ken Rosewall Area.
The US had loved a commanding 2-0 in a single day buffer after singles wins on Friday for Pegula and Frances Tiafoe.
Pegula was notably spectacular in defeating world primary Iga Świątek 6-2, 6-2.
Italy loved a 2-0 lead coming into session two of the second semifinal after singles wins on Friday evening for Martina Trevisan and Lorenzo Musetti.
