De Minaur seals Davis Cup victory as Australia beat Poland 3-1

Alex de Minaur delivered the decisive point as Australia beat Poland 3-1 in their Davis Cup tie in Brisbane, moving the hosts into the competition's penultimate round next year.

The world No 9 beat Kamil Majchrzak 6-3, 6-3 on Sunday at Pat Rafter Arena, sealing the tie in what AAP described as a return to his best form.

De Minaur's win followed a strong showing in doubles, where Max Purcell and Rinky Hijikata combined effectively to put Australia in command of the tie before the reverse singles were completed.

The doubles contribution proved pivotal, giving the hosts the platform from which de Minaur could close out the contest against Majchrzak on home soil.

Brisbane's Pat Rafter Arena has again proved a productive venue for Australian tennis, with the crowd seeing the hosts secure their passage through to the next stage of the Davis Cup calendar.

The 3-1 scoreline against Poland extends Australia's involvement in the competition into next year, when they will contest the penultimate round for a place in the latter stages of the Davis Cup.

Further details of the tie, including how the doubles rubber unfolded and the remaining singles results, are expected to be covered in fuller Davis Cup reporting as the competition progresses.

Australia's focus now turns to preparations for that next round, with de Minaur's singles form and the Purcell-Hijikata doubles partnership likely to remain central to the side's hopes.
