This is the second scheduled match as Australia take on Argentina in Group F of the United Cup. Australia's Alex de Minaur is up against Tomas Martin Etcheverry of Argentina. The other country in this outdoor hard court mixed team tournament are Great Britain. Here's our match prediction.

First up in this tie is Australia's Olivia Gadecki against Nadia Podoroska with the Australian favorite to win. If that is the case, then a win for de Minaur over Etcheverry will give them the tie 2-0. 

De Minaur is the world number nine but comes into this tournament having lost his last six matches. Those were in the Paris Masters, ATP Finals and Davis Cup. However, all six of those defeats were to players ranked in the top ten. Before that, the Australian had reached at least the quarter-finals of five successive tournaments. In the last United Cup, de Minaur lost his first match but won his next three singles.

Etcheverry is the world number 39 and has lost three of his last six matches. His last defeat was to Lukas Klein in Belgrade who was ranked 153rd at the time. He's had one previous match against Etcheverry, losing that but it was played on clay. We tip de Minaur to win in straight sets.
