SYDNEY, Australia – You won’t find too many people not happy that Team Switzerland, and the immortal Stan Wawrinka, have gone all the way to the United Cup finals.

But, in truth, they’re there because of superwoman Belinda Bencic – doing double duty in singles and mixed doubles as a matter of course and getting it done.

They came close – and Bencic was the MVP. But in the end the Polish mixed doubles pair of Kawa and Zielinski came though, as they often did during the week.

And in their third kick at the can, Poland wins it.

(Sydney is 16 hours ahead of EST)
