Battling Iga Swiatek took Poland into a United Cup semifinal against Kazakhstan as last year’s runners-up beat Britain in the mixed-teams tournament on Thursday.

The five-time Grand Slam champion and world No 2 Swiatek fought back to beat Katie Boulter 6-7 (4/7), 6-1, 6-4 and give Poland an unassailable 2-0 lead in the quarterfinal in Sydney.

With the Australian Open just over a week away, Swiatek has now won all three of her singles matches at the United Cup to launch her season.

“I am just exhausted,” Swiatek, who required a medical timeout in the deciding set and had strapping on one thigh, said after prevailing in just under three hours.

“This match was crazy, so many changes in momentum.”

A relieved Swiatek added: “I took four painkillers, a lot hurt, but happy we won.”
It was a first-ever meeting between Swiatek and Boulter, who is ranked 24 in the world, but they did practise together before the United Cup.

Swiatek, at her first event since news broke in late November that she served a one-month ban for a doping violation, roared back in the second set after Boulter won a tight first.

The former No 1 Swiatek took a medical timeout at 2-1 down in the final set as the duo went toe-to-toe in a tense encounter.

Swiatek, 23, finally wrapped it up on the first match point when Boulter fired into the net, before running over to the rest of the Poland team courtside.

Before that, the 16th-ranked Hubert Hurkacz, who had not been at his best to start the season and had a new coach, defeated Billy Harris 7-6 (7/3), 7-5 in the men’s singles.

The victory against a player ranked 109 places below him gave Poland one foot in the last four.
It was also a badly needed victory on a personal level for Hurkacz, who had lost both his previous singles matches at the United Cup.

“Super-pleased with myself. Today was a really difficult battle with Billy,” said Hurkacz. “Definitely happy to get through this one.”

The 27-year-old added: “This win is crucial for me to build confidence and get another match in.”
