Team Greece will once again feature tennis stars Stefanos Tsitsipas and Maria Sakkari at the 2026 United Cup, joining a star-studded field that includes five of the world’s top 10 men and four of the women’s top 10 players.
The mixed-team tournament, serving as a lead-in to the Australian Open, will take place from January 2–11 across Sydney and Perth, with the official draw to be held next Monday.
Top seeds Coco Gauff and Taylor Fritz will lead defending champions Team USA, while world No.2 Iga Świątek returns to bolster Poland’s bid for the title.
Other major contenders include Germany’s Alexander Zverev, Japan’s Naomi Osaka, and Australia’s Alex de Minaur, who will captain the host nation alongside rising star Maya Joint.
Tournament director Stephen Farrow said the 2026 event promises world-class competition. “The United Cup holds a unique position in global tennis, with the world’s best men and women committed to play in mixed teams and showcase equality in the sport,” he said.
With Tsitsipas and Sakkari again joining forces, Team Greece is expected to be among the tournament’s strongest contenders as they aim for a deep run in the prestigious mixed event.
