Keeping Track of Form
This first tournament of the season, which not only marks the end of the previous season's calendar but also the opening of the 2025 season, is essential for taking the temperature of the season's players and your tennis predictions to follow.
Last year, world number 2 Alexander Zverev's Germany won the title against Hubert Hurkacz's Poland, who had dropped out of the top 10 during the 2024 season. The players in this tournament will be demonstrating how they feel when they return to the tennis courts after the annual break, and how they want to start their season.
Analysis of results
Successes and defeats in the matches played at this tournament are important information to gather for the other tournaments coming up in January, such as Brisbane and Hong Kong from December 30th to January 5th, Adelaide and Auckland during the week of January 6 to 12, and above all in view of the Australian Open Grand Slam from January 12th to 26th!
It will be interesting to note which players have made the right impression and will be favorites in future tournaments. If you can, don't hesitate to follow as many matches as possible, or at least keep an eye on the tournament results. Our United Cup predictions also include in-depth match analyses, so don't hesitate to take advantage of them.
Team USA - Looking for a Fresh Start
This tournament will be the perfect time to take stock of the top US tennis players ahead of the new season. Taylor Fritz will be playing alongside Jessica Pegula, facing rivals team Great Britain and then Team Australia.
Breaking into the top 5 this season, Taylor Fritz will be keen to show that he's up to the challenge in this new season too. Fritz will be looking for revenge against Jack Draper's Great Britain team, following a surprising knockout of the Paris Bercy tournament against the same opponent.
Jessica Pegula, a finalist in Riyadh, had a solid season in 2024, finishing in the top 10. Still unable to take games off the stars such as Coco Gauff, she will undoubtedly be looking ahead to jump-start the new season with a solid first tournament.
Build up your bankroll for the start of the season
The bets on offer and the United Cup odds at this tournament will be interesting, as they could help you get the year off to a good start, building up a small pot of money needed for future early-season bets. Indeed, this tournament, which could well help you identify the current form of the world's top players, could then enable you to feel the good shots to come on the first ATP or WTA tournaments.
Your prize pool, also known as your bankroll, will be the starting point for your tennis betting season in 2025. If you win at this United Cup tournament, for example, you can credit it to one or more accounts at one or more of the top sportsbooks. This bankroll will therefore be your capital for the start of the season, or even for the whole season!
In order to make the most of the upcoming tennis season, you'll need to manage your prize fund well, and be cautious in certain tournaments that are of no real interest to top players. The United Cup will be a kind of warm-up for you and the players!
