Tsitsipas Shines as Greece Stays in the Hunt at Perth

Published January 7, 2026, 07:20

The Greek team remained in contention at Perth thanks to a performance from Stefanos Tsitsipas reminiscent of his best days. The top Greek tennis player significantly raised his level and breathed new life into Team Greece's efforts at the United Cup, leveling the series against the United States. Tsitsipas defeated Taylor Fritz 2-0, demonstrating composure and maturity. Beyond the result, Tsitsipas' overall performance stood out. His movement on the court was lighter, his shots had depth and variety, and he showed character and coolness under pressure – elements that have been missing in recent appearances. This victory serves as a clear message that he is on an upward trajectory, ahead of the demanding continuation in Australia and, of course, the Australian Open.
