The United Cup group stage matches continue at the RAC Arena in Perth as the defending champion, Team USA, takes on Team Argentina in the night session. But before that, the morning session will take place between Team France and Team Switzerland. As always, we at LWOT will offer predictions for all the confirmed matches on the slate. But which players will win?<\/p>\n
United Cup Day 2 Predictions
\nBelinda Bencic vs Leolia Jeanjean<\/p>\n
Head-to-Head: first meeting<\/p>\n
Belinda Bencic had a positive comeback season in 2025, finishing just outside the Top 10. She showed a great level of tennis at times and will be looking to make bigger strides this season. Bencic has a 2-2 win-loss record at the United Cup and is the heavy favourite to improve it in this match. Leolia Jeanjean is making her debut at this competition, and I don\u2019t think she\u2019ll cause much trouble for the Olympic gold medalist.
Prediction: Bencic in 2<\/p>\n
Stan Wawrinka vs Arthur Rinderknech<\/p>\n
Head-to-Head: first meeting<\/p>\n
Three-time Grand Slam champion Stan Wawrinka will start his farewell season<\/a> competing for his country and hopes to deliver a vintage performance. Injuries and inconsistency have plagued Wawrinka in the last two seasons, but he can still overpower opponents on his day, and that\u2019s what he will be looking for in this match. Arthur Rinderknech might have been overshadowed by his cousin last season, but his performance at times was at a top-20 level. It may take the Frenchman some time to reach his best level here, which could be enough for Wawrinka to take the lead and win.
