Argentina and Australia will square off in the United Cup in Sydney. Olivia Gadecki will face Nadia Podoroska in the first match, and Alex De Minaur will be squaring off with Tomas Etcheverry.
Gadecki is a very talented player who is appreciative of the opportunity to showcase herself at a high-profile event like the United Cup. Gadecki is 22 years old and is currently ranked at the 97th spot in the world. Olivia has won 40 and lost 27 matches across all tours in 2024. Her highest achievement this season was the final berth in the WTA 500 Guadalajara Open in September.
Nadia Podoroska is ranked exactly at number 100 in the WTA rankings. The 27-year-old from Rosario, Argentina, was ranked at the 36th spot back in the summer of 2021. Podoroska won two WTA 125 titles in 2024: the Barranquilla Open and the San Luis Open.
Alex De Minaur has started the 2025 season with some big news: he and his girlfriend, Katie Boulter, have announced that they will be getting married. De Minaur got injured at Wimbledon and did not look like himself when he came back to the ATP tour. With some extended rest, he should be fitter now. De Minaur is currently ranked at the 9th spot in the world.
The 25-year-old from La Plata had a decent season in 2024. He is ranked at the 39th position in the world. He reached the final in Lyon and a couple of semifinals as well. Etcheverry won 31 and lost 29 matches in 2024. His favorite surface is clay, which could explain why he has a dog named Roland Garros.
