Tsitsipas saved Greece in the United Cup

Stefanos Tsitsipas saved Greece in the United Cup. And Spain suffered its second defeat in the mixed tournament taking place between Perth and Sydney.

Jessica Bouzas put the Spanish team ahead in the women’s singles match by beating Maria Sakkari by a resounding 6-2, 6-1 in a magnificent match; but Stefanos Tsitsipas stopped Pablo Carreño, whom he beat 6-4, 4-6 and 6-3.

In this way, the confrontation, in which Spain needed the victory to maintain its chances, had to be decided in the mixed doubles, in which Greece presented its best possible pairing, Sakkari-Tsitsipas, against Yvonne Cavalle-Reimers and Sergio Martos.

The Spanish surprised the Hellenes in the first set, allowing them to take control 6-4, but the Greeks reacted and balanced the match with a 6-3 to send them to the super-tiebreaker.

Already at the close, the favorites triumphed 10-6.
