ITF World Tennis Tour: Iga Swiatek won the women's singles match and then came back to team up with Jan Zielinski to win the missed doubles and power Poland to a memorable 2-1 victory against Norway in a Group B clash of the United Cup here on Monday. After Swiatek and Casper Ruud earned singles wins in front of the Sydney fans, Swiatek and Zielinski battled past Ulrikke Eikeri and Ruud 6-3, 0-6, 10-8 to clinch the tie for their country.
"It's still the old year, so I'm happy to finish it like that," Swiatek said. "I'm really happy that I could play with Jan and show our game. It was pretty tight, but I'm happy that at the end we stepped up the level and we finished it so Poland could win," she was quoted as saying by the official website of the United Cup.
