United Cup Winner Prediction: who will win the tournament in 2024?
After Team USA's historic first title beating out Italy in 2023, several nations seem to be emerging as favourites this season. These include Australia, the United States and Poland.
With a full squad (including de Minaur and Tomljanovic for singles and Ebden and Perez for doubles) and the support of the public, Australia could be a potential dark horse in this competition. Poland, led by Hurkacz and Świątek, won't be an easy out either, as will the defending champions United States, led by Fritz, Pegula and the impressive Ram and Krawczyk in doubles (ranked 6th and 16th in the world).
For your bet on the winner, turn to one of these three nations. We're focusing most of our attention on Poland, however, as the team has a top-10 ranked ATP player in Hubert Hurkacz and Iga Świątek on the WTA side. Świątek is the clear best player in the women's game currently and is coming off an absurd 2023 which saw her win 70 of her 82 total matches and take down her fourth career Grand Slam at Roland Garros. Therefore, the SportyTrader editorial team's prediction for the winner is as follows: victory for Poland, who were spared in the group stage.

Our tips for making good United Cup tennis predictions
Do you want to place reliable predictions on the United Cup 2024 and maximise your winnings? Here are the best tips from our tennis specialists. Keep them in mind as they will certainly come in handy when betting on this competition.
Pay attention to the rankings
This first tip is probably the most logical, but you shouldn't overlook it. By observing the rankings of each player taking part in the competition, you'll get a good idea of who starts as the favourite in each match.
Although this is not the only criterion that should be taken into account in your analysis, it's certainly a good starting point. However, it also needs to be supplemented with the following tips.
Pay attention to the form of the players
Next, it's important to analyse the form of the players who will be playing against each other in the United Cup. By form, we of course mean recent results, but also the performances of these players in their last few matches.
It's vital to take this aspect into account before placing your bet. It will affect the score and therefore the result of the match. For example, Tsitsipas, who is on a 15-match winning streak, will be a better bet than his opponent, especially if the latter is in mediocre form.
Taking the playing surface into account
The third major criterion, which also has a major influence on match results, is the surface on which the competition is played. You'll need to pay close attention to this, whatever the tournament.
As mentioned above, the United Cup is played on a hard surface. Some players feel much more at home on hard courts than on grass or clay, and perform particularly well on this surface. You therefore need to analyse how the players feel on each surface, and whether they have obtained good results on it compared with other court types.
Observe head-to-head history
Thanks to the latest head-to-head encounters, you'll be able to improve your perspective of the outcome of the match. In line with the previous point, however, you need to pay attention to the surface on which these duels were played, as well as the date.
If one player beat another on clay in 2014, that head-to-head won't be very relevant to your analysis of a match at this 2024 United Cup. As well as giving you a good idea of which player is most likely to win, the history between two players will also tell you who has the psychological edge going into the match.
In short: how do you make a good United Cup prediction?
To make a reliable prediction on the United Cup 2024, always bear in mind the format of the competition, the statistics discussed on this page and the history of the meetings between the two players who are facing each other (head-to-head). Also remember that this is the first tournament of the tennis year, and that the top players are not necessarily in peak physical condition. If the odds on a favourite are very low, think twice before playing it on a sports betting site.
