Greece take on Italy in the United Cup semi-finals. The winner of this match will face either Poland or the USA in the final.  The Greek side has won all three of their matches so far while Italy lost their city final to Poland but got through as the best loser. It's a best-of-five match with two men's singles, two women's singles and then a mixed doubles as the last and possibly deciding match. Greece will be relying on Stefanos Tsitsipas and Maria Sakkari to take them into the final. Both players have won their three singles matches in this tournament and then teamed up to win the mixed doubles. Neither player has lost a match this week and Sakkari is yet to lose a set so far in this first ever United Cup. if they can carry on that form then they'll make it into the final.

Sakkari will be facing Martina Trevisan in the opening match and the Italian has lost two of her three matches so far. The scores may well be levelled with in-form ItalianP Lorenzo Musetti (who has won all three of his matches) likely to beat Michail Pervolarakis. It's the third match that is going to be of key importance. Stefanos Tsitsipas will face Matteo Berrettini and both players have won their three singles matches so far in this United Cup. The Greek has won both of his previous matches against the Italian and is in top form at present. The second women's singles match will see Despina Papamichail up against Italy's Lucia Bronzetti and it's Bronzetti (ranked 104 places higher than her opponent) that can take this semi-final into a decider. Greece will be the favorites to win that decider with the powerful duo of Tsitsipas and Sakkari likely to be up against Lorenzo Musetti and Camilla Rosatello.
