The German team shattered all hopes for Team Australia in their incredible United Cup run after the mixed doubles pair of Alexander Zverev and Laura Siegemund defeated their opponents, Matt Ebden and Storm Hunter, in a 2-1 victory in a must-win match for them.

Team Australia pulled off an absolute stunner when Alex De Minaur stepped up to defeat Alexander Zverev to force a deciding mixed doubles clash for a seat in the championship round of the event.

The United Cup serves as a preparatory and warm-up event before the Australian Open begins in mid-January.

All eyes will be on how well Alexander Zverev performs in the finals, as the team will surely expect their best and top-ranked player to help them pave the way towards victory.

The German tennis player will next fly to Melbourne to be a part of the upcoming Australian Open, as he will try to make a better comeback this year after having not had such a great 2023 season on Tour.
