Team Greece drawn into Perth’s Group E ahead of 2026 United Cup

·

Team Greece will take on a high-profile field at the 2026 United Cup after being drawn into Group E in Perth, where Stefanos Tsitsipas and Maria Sakkari will face Great Britain and tournament debutants Japan.

The draw places Greece alongside a refreshed British squad featuring world No.10 Jack Draper and 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu, as well as Japan’s four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka and 2019 Junior Wimbledon winner Shintaro Mochizuki.

The United Cup, a mixed team event staged in Perth and Sydney from 2–11 January 2026, confirmed 18 nations across six groups at the official draw, attended in Perth by Casey Dellacqua and Matt Ebden.

Perth will also host defending champions and top seeds Team USA in Group A, along with Spain and Argentina, while third seeds Italy head Group C against France and Switzerland.

However, Group E is expected to command strong local attention as Greece returns with its two top stars.

The tournament schedule will be released on Tuesday, November 18.
