United Cup 2025: Dominant Rybakina leads Kazakhstan into quarterfinals

The Hindu  

Kazakhstan reached the quarterfinals of the United Cup mixed team tournament with a comfortable win over Greece on Monday as Elena Rybakina defeated Maria Sakkari 6-4, 6-3 after Alexander Shevchenko stunned Stefanos Tsitsipas. Former Wimbledon champion Rybakina, who is using the 18-nation tournament to prepare for next month’s Australian Open, edged a tight opening set against Sakkari before powering ahead 5-0 in the next. “Hopefully we’ll have some good results together.” Shevchenko pulled off a major upset earlier when he downed an ill and error-prone world number 11 Tsitsipas 6-4, 7-6 to put Kazakhstan on course for victory in the Group C tie in Perth. “He wasn’t at his best today but still I played really well and I found the moments to win the match.” In Sydney, Katie Boulter and Charles Broom guided Britain to a 2-1 win over Argentina in Group F, winning their mixed doubles rubber against Maria Lourdes Carle and Tomas Martin Etcheverry 7-6, 7-5.
