Germany Clinches United Cup Title in Dramatic Comeback

Alexander Zverev's remarkable rally secures victory in the deciding mixed doubles match, overcoming Poland's early lead.

  • Germany won the United Cup final, thanks to a remarkable comeback by Alexander Zverev who saved two match points in his singles tie and then helped clinch the final in the deciding mixed doubles match.
  • Zverev partnered with Laura Siegemund to win the mixed doubles against Iga Swiatek and Hubert Hurkacz, with the winning shot coming off Zverev's racket.
  • Earlier, top-ranked Swiatek had given Poland an early lead with a straight-sets win against Angelique Kerber, extending her win streak to 16 matches.
  • Hurkacz had led Zverev by a set and 6-4 in the second-set tiebreaker, but Zverev rallied to keep Germany in the tie and eventually clinch the deciding set.
  • The victory for Germany appeared unlikely after nail-biting victories in the semifinal and Sunday's final.
