Kubot And Hussey faced an even more difficult task – their competitors turned out to be number one Jimmy Murray from Great Britain and Michael Venus from New Zealand.
The tennis duel began with a very fierce exchange – the Polish and the Dutch even had the opportunity to quickly break their opponents, but in the end they turned the fate of this mini-match and added the first match to their account.

At first, it seemed that we would notice a very similar picture in the second part of the game – at first we were dealing with a 1:1 situation in the games, but then the representatives of Poland and the Netherlands accelerated and (they achieved two feats along the way) took the 5:1 lead. Only their opponents managed to respond with a winning small skirmish. However, the fate of this group did not change – our representative and his companion finally achieved their goal and won in a ratio of 6: 2.
