Be nice if Iga could get into the UC final with Poland, that way she gets enough match practice and can travel to Melbourne about a week earlier, thus get used to the AO courts in good time.

According to the website, the mixed vs Kazakhstan is Iga/Hubi vs Kulambayeva/Bublik. That might still change though.

If my head math is correct, that match should start in the hour before Sunday noon for us Central Europeans.

I think it might start a bit after noon for you guys, because you have to factor in the interviews and the gap times between matches.

Iga and Hurkacz are going to play mixed doubles!

It's annoying that full versions of these interviews are nowhere to be found.
