SYDNEY, Australia – If theh “big two” aren’t playing United Cup, there are plenty of watchable players taking part on the men’s side, even if the star power isn’t quite what it is with the women.
But a lot of players with intriguing storylines will be in action over the next week – notably Stefanos Tsitsipas, who was contemplating retirement after playing in a lot of pain because of a back injury for much of 2025.
He’ll be in the spotlight. As will Taylor Fritz, who had a great 2025 season despite dealing with knee tendonitis that the short off-season wasn’t enough to full resolve.
Here are some of the men in action on the practice court: Fritz, Tsitsipas, Flavio Cobolli, Jakub Mensik, Billy Harris (replacing Jack Draper) and Casper Ruud.
