Share:SYDNEY - World number nine Hubert Hurkacz powered Poland into the ATP Cup semi-finals on Wednesday, overwhelming Argentina’s in-form Diego Schwartzman to ensure his country became the first to book a last-four berth. Poland’s world number 117 Kamil Majchrzak set up his team for victory with a gutsy 6-3, 7-6 (7/3) victory against Federico Delbonis, who is ranked 73 places higher. That left 2021 Miami Open champion Hurkacz needing to beat 13th-ranked Schwartzman, and he did so in style, racing to a 6-1, 6-4 victory in 81 minutes. Schwartzman had stunned world number four Stefanos Tsitsipas on Monday. The Roberto Bautista Agut-led Spain could also make semi-finals if they beat Dusan Lajovic’s Serbia in an evening Group A tie.
