TENNIS AUSTRALIA
Greece makes its 2024 debut at the United Cup in Sydney during the Tuesday day session, with Top 10 stars Maria Sakkari and Stefanos Tsitsipas presenting a big obstacle in Chile's quest to stay alive in the tournament.
Having dropped its first Group B tie to Canada, Chile will be hoping that Daniela Deguel can pull a big upset against World No. 8 Sakkari and that Nicolas Jarry, at a career-high No. 19 in the Pepperstone ATP Rankings, can topple last year's Australian Open finalist Tsitsipas.
In the evening session in Sydney, the Netherlands will look to clinch victory in Group F when it plays Croatia, which suffered a narrow defeat to Norway on Monday. Tallon Griekspoor will look to kickstart the Dutch charge against Borna Coric in the opening match, before Arantxa Rus looks to upset Donna Vekic in the WTA singles.
In Perth, in the final group stage match, Serbia has the opportunity to win Group E should it beat the Czech Republic. World No. 1 Novak Djokovic, who won both his singles and mixed doubles with Olga Danilovic, again holds the key to the team's chances, as he takes on Jiri Lehecka in a first-time Lexus ATP Head2Head meeting.
