Two individual victories are enough – Bencic and Golubic take Switzerland to the final – game

Golubic’s first win against Muchova

As in the last group match, captain Heinz Gunthard relied on Viktorija Golubić (ATP 77) to replace Jill Teichmann (WTA 35). The 30-year-old from Zurich has consistently honored his faith.

In the 3rd fight against former top 20 player Muchova (WTA 149), Golubic won for the first time. He started the game well and won 11 of the first 12 points. He struggled a bit more in his service games in the 2nd set, but after 90 minutes he converted his first match point with a service winner.

Benzic strong nerves

Belinda Pencic was again emotional in the 2nd singles match against Karolina Pliskova (WTA 32). The former world No. 1 was far from confident on his debut in Scotland, but he beat Bencic at the US Open two months ago.

This time, however, it was the Olympic champion and world No. 12 who prevailed. Bencic won the first set clearly, held out for the second set, then held his nerve in the tie-break.

Now against Australia

In Sunday’s final, Switzerland take on Australia, who beat hosts Great Britain 2-1 in dramatic fashion. The winner of the tournament was Buell Saunders. The 28-year-old won 7:6 (7:1), 6:7 (5:7), 10:6 against Heather Watson and British doubles pair Alicia Barnett/Olivia Nicholls alongside Samantha Stosur. .
