United Cup: Zverev's Victory In Mixed Doubles Helps Germany Beat Australia In Semifinal
Ken Rosewall Arena: Alexander Zverev lost his singles match to Alex de Minaur of Australia on Saturday but returned to Ken Rosewall Arena later in the night to lead Germany to the United Cup final.
Zverev and Laura Siegemund defeated Matthew Ebden and Storm Hunter 7-6(2), 6-7(2), 15-13 in a match that ended at 2:15 a.m. to clinch their country's 2-1 win over Australia. Germany will face Poland, led by Iga Swiatek and Hubert Hurkacz, on Sunday evening for the trophy.
"Special thanks to Laura, I think she was the MVP today. Actually, Angie was the MVP today because she saved my a**, so that was very nice," Zverev said of Angelique Kerber, who won the tie's opening match to give Germany the first point. Kerber saved two match points to defeat Ajla Tomljanovic 4-6, 6-2, 7-6(7) in two hours, 34 minutes.
