Elena Rybakina and Kazakhstan upset Greece in the United Cup, while Britain defeated Argentina. Stefanos Tsitsipas lost his first match, and Katie Boulter led Britain to victory.
Stefanos Tsitsipas suffered a surprising defeat in his opening match of the season as Kazakhstan , spearheaded by Elena Rybakina, upset Greece to advance to the quarter-finals of the United Cup. Meanwhile, Britain secured victory against Argentina. Tsitsipas, aiming for a strong comeback after a disappointing 2024, was outmatched by Alexander Shevchenko, ranked 78th, losing 6-4, 7-6 (7/0).
World number six and 2022 Wimbledon champion Rybakina overcame a late scare to defeat Maria Sakkari 6-4, 6-3, clinching the win for Kazakhstan. In Sydney, Katie Boulter led Britain to victory over Argentina, keeping all three teams in the group, including hosts Australia, in contention for the knockout stages. Rybakina, now coached by Novak Djokovic's former coach Goran Ivanisevic, expressed her delight for the team, praising their efforts. She acknowledged Sakkari's spirited comeback attempt after trailing 5-0 in the second set. Shevchenko hailed his victory over Tsitsipas as one of the best of his career, noting that the Greek star was not at his best. In other matches, defending champions Germany, led by Alexander Zverev, will face China in the evening session in Perth. In Sydney, Boulter, enjoying a career-best season, defeated Nadia Podoroska 6-2, 6-3. Billy Harris initially put Britain on the verge of victory but Argentina's Tomas Martin Etcheverry rallied to win the tie-deciding mixed doubles
