Poland have been the losing finalists in the past two United Cup tournaments. The returning Hubert Hurkacz begins their 2026 campaign with a tough match against Germany's Alexander Zverev. Read our match prediction below.
Hurkacz is playing his first tournament since being injured last June. Before that, the Pole had reached one clay court final and an indoor hard court semi-final. Poland may have reached two United Cup finals but Hurkacz has won seven singles matches but lost the same number.
Hubert Hurkacz has only won one of his four matches against Zverev and that came on a grass court. The two players met in the 2024 United Cup with Zverev winning in three sets. Their past two meetings have seen three tie-breaks played. A side bet on one here may be profitable.
Alexander Zverev has won this trophy once with Germany in 2024. He made a good start to this year's outdoor hard court tournament with a straight sets win over Tallon Griekspoor. He won a close first set 7-5 but didn't drop a game in the second.
The world number three has won seven of the last eight singles matches he has played in the United Cup.
Our main prediction is a Zverev straight sets victory.
