German team eliminated from United Cup without Zverev
Without Alexander Zverev, the German tennis team has to play the quarter-finals against Kazakhstan at the United Cup. The reason is an injury. The defeat is already clear after the individual.
Without the injured Alexander Zverev, the German tennis team was eliminated in the quarter-finals of the United Cup in Perth. The defeat of the defending champion team was already clear after the two individual matches.
First, Laura Siegemund lost against world number six Jelena Rybakina 3:6, 1:6. Daniel Masur, who stood in for Zverev, then lost 7:6 (7:5), 2:6, 2:6. The final mixed was therefore meaningless. The world number two Zverev withdrew shortly before the encounter against Shevchenko due to a biceps strain, as the organizers in Perth announced.
The German selection won against Brazil and China in the preliminary round. Zverev won his singles against Thiago Monteiro and Zheng Zhizhen. For many tennis professionals, the United Cup is the start of the new season and at the same time an important preparation for the Australian Open, which begins in mid-January 2025.
