SYDNEY, Australia, Jan 3 – <\/i>World number two Rafael Nadal slumped to defeat for a second straight time at the United Cup Monday in a setback to his Australian Open preparations, but Stefanos Tsitsipas and Iga Swiatek were both on song.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There was also more misery for former world number two Alexander Zverev, who, like Nadal, suffered a second loss to start his season, this time at the hands of Taylor Fritz.<\/p>\n

Spanish 22-time Grand Slam winner Nadal surprisingly crashed in his season-opening match on Saturday to 14th-ranked Cameron Norrie.<\/p>\n

And he again succumbed after winning the first set, going down 3-6, 6-1, 7-5 to Australia’s 24th-ranked Alex De Minaur in Sydney, including losing six games in a row in the second set. “Honestly, I couldn’t be happier that I managed to get my first win over Rafa on this court, it’s no secret this is my favourite court in the world,” said De Minaur. “Rafa is a hell of a competitor and what he has been able to do for this sport is truly astounding so I’m just honoured.<\/p>\n

“It’s a dream come true.”<\/p>\n

It went with serve to 2-2 in the first set, but Nadal played some loose shots and a double fault handed De Minaur a break point, then he sent a forehand long to go 2-3 behind.<\/p>\n

But the Australian couldn’t sustain the pressure and Nadal broke straight back.<\/p>\n

After a slow start, the Spaniard found his groove and in a devastating burst won the next three games to take the set.<\/p>\n

De Minaur appeared deflated and was broken again on his first serve of the second set, but he flicked a switch to reel off six games in a row to leave Nadal stunned.<\/p>\n

– See ball, hit ball –<\/strong><\/p>\n

They exchanged breaks in the third set before a string of unforced errors from Nadal allowed De Minaur to break again for 6-5 and serve out for the win.<\/p>\n

“My attitude while serving for the match was ‘See ball, hit ball’ – it worked out,” the Australian said.<\/p>\n

The mixed-team tournament features 18 countries playing in Sydney, Brisbane and Perth.<\/p>\n

The winners of the two groups in each city advance to a city final on Wednesday, with whoever comes through that making the final four.<\/p>\n

Neither Spain nor Australia can progress from Group D in Sydney, with Norrie’s Britain already the confirmed winner.<\/p>\n

They will play the United States in the city final after Fritz and Madison Keys put their country through against Germany. – Rusty – World number nine Fritz beat Zverev 6-1, 6-4 in just 64 minutes.<\/p>\n

It followed the German’s loss to 81st-ranked Czech Jiri Lehecka on Saturday in his first competitive match since tearing three right ankle ligaments during his French Open semi-final against Nadal in June.<\/p>\n

“It was tough to judge my level because I feel he’s coming back from injury, he’s a bit rusty, he was giving me a lot of free points,” said Fritz, who had a breakthrough year in 2022 with titles at Indian Wells, Tokyo and Eastbourne.<\/p>\n

“But I’m really happy with it.” Keys swept past Jule Niemeier 6-2, 6-3.<\/p>\n

World number one Swiatek gave Poland a 1-0 lead against Switzerland in a winner-takes-all tie that will decide Group B in Brisbane, beating Belinda Bencic 6-3, 7-6 (7\/3). “I’m a perfectionist, but I’m super happy with my performance today,” said Swiatek.<\/p>\n

“On this fast surface it was really, really hard so I’m really happy that I could close it.” Marc-Andrea Huesler clawed a point back for the Swiss 6-3, 6-2 over Daniel Michalski.<\/p>\n

Italy need a win against eliminated Norway in Group E to advance at Brazil’s expense with Martina Trevisan delivering them an early lead by dispatching Malene Helgo 7-5, 3-6, 6-4.<\/p>\n

Lorenzo Musetti followed on, defeating Viktor Durasovic 7-6 (9\/7), 6-3.<\/p>\n

In Perth, Belgium need to defeat Greece at least 4-1 to qualify from Group A and Alison Van Uytvanck held off an inspired Despina Papamichail 7-5, 2-6, 6-3 to give them a 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n

But world number four Tsitsipas continued his good early form with a 6-3, 6-2 win over David Goffin to level the tie.<\/p>\n

France trail Croatia 2-0 thanks to Croat wins from Donna Vekic – 6-4, 6-3 over Alize Cornet – and Borna Coric’s 7-6 (7\/1), 7-6 (7\/2) defeat of Arthur Rinderknech.<\/p>\n
