1. They dot the “i's”. Doubles in mixed pairs defeated China!
Wednesday's victory over the Chinese was the Polish woman's 100th win as a WTA No. 1 player.

The style in which she overcame the loss to Belarus, along with her victory in the WTA Finals, had everyone wondering what the battle between the two players would look like in 2024.
Thanks to the victory in the United Cup, the Pole increased his lead over Sabalenka in the first days of the new year. He currently has 9515 rating points. and Sabalenka – 8640. If our player won the United Cup, his score would increase by 310 points. Therefore, Belarus will have to chase and achieve the best result on the Brisbane courts. In the first match, the runner-up defeated Lucia Bronzetti.
