In each of Poland’s prior two defeats to the Americans, Swiatek and Hurkacz were unable to put points on the board. Swiatek dropped her respective singles matches to Jessica Pegula in 2023 and Coco Gauff last year, while Hurkacz twice came up short against Taylor Fritz.
Revenge is on the table, with Gauff and Fritz running it back this week for the defending champions.
“For sure it’s a good match, like exciting for the fans I think. But I’ll focus on my singles. Obviously we know each other’s game pretty well with Coco,” said Swiatek.
“The key for me will be just to focus on myself, try to implement the stuff that I worked on during the pre-season and be brave with the decisions. Yeah, we’ll see.”
