Key Group E Clash in Perth: Greece Faces Britain with Quarter-Final Spot on the Line
Greek City Times | January 5, 2026
The evening session in Perth promises an exciting showdown this Monday, January 5, in Group E of the United Cup 2026. Team Greece, led by stars Stefanos Tsitsipas and Maria Sakkari, will take on Great Britain, who may still be without Emma Raducanu due to a lingering foot injury.
After a dominant 3-0 victory over Japan in their opener, Greece is looking strong. Sakkari and Tsitsipas both delivered convincing wins, setting up high expectations for this decisive tie. The winner of Great Britain vs. Greece will advance directly to the quarter-finals.
Raducanu withdrew from Britain's match against Japan on Sunday and remains doubtful for Monday's encounter. If she plays, a blockbuster women's singles against Sakkari could be on the cards—Raducanu leads their head-to-head 4-0. On the men's side, Billy Harris faces the daunting task of challenging Tsitsipas.
