Day 8 of the 2024 United Cup will bring the quarterfinal stage of the tournament to a close.
Germany and Greece will battle it out for the last remaining semifinal spot. World No. 8 Maria Sakkari and three-time Major champion Angelique Kerber will kick off the day's proceedings.
While Sakkari won both of her singles ties in straight sets, Kerber is yet to get a singles win under her belt. Top 10 players Stefanos Tsitsipas and Alexander Zverev will take to the court after that.
Their rivalry dates back to 2018, with Tsitsipas leading Zverev 9-4 in the head-to-head. Their previous encounter took place at the 2023 Paris Masters, with the Greek coming out on top in straight sets.
Trending
The mixed doubles tie will likely pit Tsitsipas and Sakkari against Zverev and Kerber. The Greeks made it to the semifinals last year and will be eyeing to do the same once again. The German contingent, on the other hand, will try to reach this stage for the first time.
Whoever wins this quarterfinal showdown will face home favorites Australia in the semifinal. The hosts eliminated Serbia in the quarterfinals, with Alex de Minaur's win over Novak Djokovic making headlines all over.
