Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz and Dutchman Tallon Griekspoor will face off on day six of the 2026 United Cup.

Hurkacz, a former world number 6, underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee in 2025 and, following recovery and rehabilitation, returned to action at this year’s United Cup. The 28-year-old Pole has impressed at the annual international mixed team tennis event so far, notably beating world number 3 Alexander Zverev in Poland’s 3-0 win over Germany earlier in the Round Robin stage.

Meanwhile, Griekspoor’s fortunes at the tournament have been dismal, with the Dutchman losing both his men’s singles and mixed doubles matches against Germany. The ATP No. 25 simply needs to improve his overall level to give the Netherlands a chance of qualifying for the quarter-finals.

As it stands, Germany are top of Group F, with the Netherlands at the bottom and Poland sandwiched between them. The Netherlands and Poland played one draw less than the Germans.

Hubert Hurkacz vs Tallon Greek Spoor prediction

In terms of playing styles, Hurkacz and Griekspoor are both versatile players, which should produce an entertaining spectacle once the Pole and Dutchman face off on Wednesday, January 7 in the 2026 United Cup.

However, despite their similar styles, Hurkacz should be much more confident heading into the match than Griekspoor, especially due to the Pole’s impressive win over Zverev. The Dutchman, meanwhile, will likely be under immense pressure, knowing he must deliver the goods if the Netherlands are to get off to a good start in their final phase of the Round Robin.

Take: Hurkacz will win in three sets.
