Iga Świątek is training in Warsaw and will then fly to the United Arab Emirates. There, she will begin the next stage of preparations, which will culminate in a performance in the World Tennis League exhibition tournament in Abu Dhabi. The WTA ranking leader will play there in the same team with Hubert Hurkacz, and the Polish stars will fight just before the holidays, on December 21-24.
Then Iga Świątek and Hubert Hurkacz will play in the same team again, but this time they will compete in official WTA and ATP tournaments. They will play in the international United Cup tournament, in which they led the Polish team to the semi-finals a year ago (they lost to the USA).
The exact schedule of the United Cup has just been revealed. There are even match times. Poland will play Brazil and Spain in the group stage. In this edition of the United Cup, each match will consist of two singles (women’s and men’s) and a mixed doubles match. It is already known that the Polish performance will be opened by the match between Iga Świątek and Beatriz Haddad Maia. Our star will have to face a very demanding opponent at the beginning of the season, in the first official match, who was previously difficult for her to play against. The great news for Iga Świątek’s fans is that the match with Haddad Maia will start on Saturday, December 30 at 10:00 Polish time. It will be evening in Perth then, and the perfect time for spectators in our country. After Iga Świątek’s match, Hubert Hurkacz will take to the court to face Thiago Seyboth Wild. Then it will be time for the mixed doubles, and Iga and Hubi will probably create a lethal combination again.
