After the teams split the singles, Germany&#8217;s mixed doubles pair of Laura Siegemund and Alexander Zverev defeated Matthew Ebden and Storm Hunter in the championship match at local time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Germany had led thanks to a victory by Angelique Kerber over Ajla Tomljanovic, but Australia equalized when Alex de Minaur overcame Zverev 5-7, 6-3, 6-4, rallying behind the home crowd. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Alex de Minaur v Alexander Zverev Highlights | United Cup 2024 Semifinals\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mNo3njHIm1U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With just twenty-five minutes to spare between the singles and doubles rounds, Zverev persevered, teaming up with Siegemund to defeat the Australian duo 7-6(2), 6-7(2), 15-13 in a battle in which both players saved multiple match points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I thought the level of the match was extremely high, but it was disappointing after the singles match,&#8221; a cramped and fatigued Zverev remarked after spending five hours on the court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We were still in the tie and we still had a chance to win it and I&#8217;m happy that we did that today.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/24hscore.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">24hscore<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ebden\/Hunter v Zverev\/Siegemund Highlights | United Cup 2024 Semifinal\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wdG4yDPNeQ0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After falling behind early in the match, Kerber overcame Ajla Tomljanovic 4-6, 6-2, 7-6(7) to win in straight sets for the first time since taking an 18-month maternity hiatus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I just tried to play as many matches as possible before going to Melbourne. I tried to learn from my last three matches,&#8221; Kerber stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Coming out here and winning such a tough battle means a lot to me.
