Theodoros Angelinos to captain Team Greece at Australia’s United Cup

·

The Greek team is expected to compete with a major change on the bench at the 2025 United Cup, which will take place in Australia from December 27 to January 5.

Theodoros Angelinos is set to replace Apostolos Tsitsipas, who was the captain of Team Greece in the previous three editions of the tournament.

The 40-year-old former world No. 251, originally from Lesvos, who has a deep and long-lasting friendship with both Stefanos Tsitsipas and Maria Sakkari, is a graduate of CMA University in Virginia, a Greek doubles champion, and a two-time singles finalist.

Team Greece, which is made up of Stefanos and Petros Tsitsipas, Stefanos Sakellariadis, Maria Sakkari, Despina Papamichaïl and Valentini Grammatikopoulou, will begin its campaign against Spain on Saturday, December 28 in Perth, Western Australia.

This will be a crucial match, as the Kazakhstan versus Spain game on December 27 will take place beforehand, and the Greek team will need a strong start to stay on track for a quarterfinals spot.

After that, Greece will play again on Monday, December 30, against Kazakhstan. The top six teams from the groups will advance to the quarterfinals, with the two best runners-up from the six groups also qualifying for the final eight.
