THE PREDICTION

Neutrals around the world will be desperately hoping for this heavyweight tie between Poland and Switzerland to stay level after four singles matches as there has rarely been such a stacked showdown in Mixed Doubles. Stan Wawrinka and Iga Swiatek’s three Grand Slam titles apiece are testament to the quality of this match but it is Hubert Hurkacz and Belinda Bencic who should be the difference makers here as two successful doubles players in their own rights – with Hurkacz a two-time Masters titlist in Men’s Doubles and Bencic an Olympic Gold Medallist and recent Billie Jean King Cup winner. Bencic now trails 2-1 to Swiatek after a defeat in tight straight sets on Monday but each of their last two encounters have seen tiebreaks, whilst Hurkacz and Wawrinka will face off for the first time on Tuesday before seeing double if this tie reaches 2-2. It is best to wait for the singles matches to be over here but also likely that both pairs take to the court with practice required ahead of the knock-out stages. If forced to pick a winner here, back Poland to edge things on the basis of world number one Swiatek’s sheer brilliance and Hurkacz’s incredible ability at the net.
