Australia may always host the United Cup but they have never reached the semi-finals. They bid to consign that stat to history in this year's quarter-final. Alex de Minaur takes on Hubert Hurkacz in the men's singles. Read our match prediction below.
For the winner of this tie, there's a semi-final against defending champions, the USA.
This outdoor hard court tournament sees each match decided by the best of three rubbers. The opening rubber in this match will likely see Iga Swiatek beat Maya Joint so Alex de Minaur may well need to win this match to keep Australia in the United Cup.
De Minaur's tournament didn't start well as he lost in straight sets to Casper Ruud. It went much better against the Czech Republic as he defeated Jakub Mensik and then won the mixed doubles rubber too. He's up to fifth in the live rankings.
Hubert Hurkacz missed the last six months of 2025 due to injury. This is his first tournament since then and it's gone very well indeed for the Pole. He's defeated world number three Alexander Zverev and Tallon Griekspoor without dropping a set.
Only Taylor Fritz has beaten him in his last five United Cup singles and that was in last year's final.
We tip Hurkacz to win a set in this match.
