United Cup 2026 LIVE: Ruud takes the first set as de Minaur struggles with double faults

Here are a few words from our winner Storm Hunter.

“This is pretty emotional for me, it’s been a pretty tough two years, rupturing my achilles and fighting my way back through surgery and re-learning everything,” Hunter said.

“I never thought I’d be back on this court in a singles moment playing for Australia. Obviously, this was Maya’s moment, Maya has had an incredible year, and it’s such a shame she couldn’t come out here tonight, I know she’s so excited to play in front of everyone, but hopefully, she gets her opportunity on Tuesday.

“But I’m just glad I could get the win for the team.”
