United Cup 2026 Day 2 Schedule

Belgium and China will play the first tie in Sydney, with Elise Mertens and Zhu Lin kicking things off. Mertens, who is currently ranked 20th in the world, has beaten her 168th-ranked opponent thrice out of their four prior meetings.

Zizou Bergs and Zhizhen Zhang will play the men’s singles fixture of the tie. The Belgian, who put a resilient display in his nation’s Davis Cup semifinal run, has a 2-0 head-to-head lead over his Chinese counterpart.

The second fixture in Sydney will see hosts Australia lock horns with Norway. This tie will feature a highly-anticipated clash between Alex de Minaur and Casper Ruud. De Minaur, who had an impressive 2025 season, has won both of his prior encounters against the Norwegian.

The opening fixture in Perth is an alpine derby between 2024 semifinalists France and Switzerland. World No. 11 Belinda Bencic, who had some impressive performances last year after her return to tennis, will take on World No. 103 Léolia Jeanjean while Stan Wawrinka will face Arthur Rinderknech.

Defending champions USA will start their title defense against Argentina, who bagged the first win of the tournament by beating Spain 2-0. In a way, this tie could determine the winner of Group A. Taylor Fritz will start his 2026 season against Sebastián Báez, someone he has a 100% win record against. On the other hand, World No. 3 Coco Gauff will face Solana Sierra for the very first time in her career.
