If Sebastián Báez set out to completely transform himself as a player for the New Year, he is certainly fulfilling it. The Argentine remains on a hot streak in the United Cup 2026: he secured his third consecutive victory to keep Argentina alive in the quarterfinals, defeating a competitive Stan Wawrinka thanks to his performance in crucial moments (7-5, 6-4). Using his forehand to dictate play and boldly approaching the net, Báez is showcasing his most aggressive version to date, raising his competitive level on fast courts.

Although the Greek team fought to the end, faltering in the mixed doubles and losing to the United States in the quarterfinals of the United Cup 2026, the team tournament represents a significant boost for Stefanos Tsitsipas. His victory against Taylor Fritz, showcasing a magnificent performance, allows him to end several streaks that will surely dispel many mental obstacles. It is his first win against a top-10 player on outdoor hard court since Cincinnati 2022, his first victory against a top-10 player on hard court since the ATP Finals 2023, and his first win against a top-20 player in over a year (since the Paris 2024 Olympic Games!), after a 2025 season where he failed to secure any victories against the elite. Things have certainly taken a turn at the beginning of 2026.

The string of victories signed by Stefanos Tsitsipas in his participation in the United Cup 2026 has a significant impact on his aspirations to perform well in the Open de Australia 2026. The Greek player has now reached 31st place in the live ATP ranking. He could be surpassed this week by Nakashima, Michelsen, and Báez, which would drop him to 34th place in the ranking. However, he would still be a seeded player due to the known absences of Draper and Rune. A great achievement for the Greek tennis player, who has shown promising signs with these three victories to start the year.
