Greece’s leading tennis players are set to open the competitive season in Australia for a fourth consecutive year, returning to the United Cup – again in Perth, where Greece will face Japan and Great Britain.
In a promotional message issued weeks before the tournament, Maria Sakkari shared her enthusiasm for representing Greece in Australia and appealed directly to diaspora supporters for continued backing.
She said: “I’m very excited to be back in the United Cup. Playing in the United Cup for Greece in Australia is unique. It’s a unique atmosphere, a unique moment for us. It will be my 4th year in the tournament and I’m very excited to see the Greek community supporting us again.”
Greece will open its campaign against Japan on January 2, followed by a fixture against Great Britain on January 5.
The Greek team heading into the tournament includes Stefanos Tsitsipas, Maria Sakkari, Stefanos Sakellaridis, Despina Papamichael, Petros Tsitsipas and Sappho Sakellaridis.
