Davis Cup: The dates for Greece and the next steps up to the world group
After 19 years, our national tennis team will be in world group 1 and fight for entry into the elite.
Stefanos Tsitsipas’ victory sealed Greece’s presence in the next stage and Davis Cup. To be precise, the national tennis team will compete in the playoffs world group 1
Our country has been there since 2004 and it is a great success. However, the big goal of Stefanos Tsitsipas and the other members is different.
In September 2023 our national team will play a game (they don’t know the opponent yet) and if they manage to win they will qualify for the world group.
What does that mean; That in about a year the national tennis team will have the opportunity to compete among the top 16 in the world claiming the title.
Of course, all of this applies as long as the Davis Cup system does not change.

38-year-old Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic (ATP 4) reached the quarter-finals of the 2026 Australian Open ahead of schedule.
On January 26, Novak was supposed to play in the fourth round against the representative of the Czech Republic, Jakub Mensik (ATP 17). However, the meeting will not take place – Meshik withdrew from the fight due to an abdominal muscle injury.
“After doing everything we could to continue my performance, I had to withdraw from the Australian Open due to an abdominal muscle injury that got worse in the last matches. Despite the disappointment, I will remember for a long time my debut in the fourth round of this tournament. I felt great energy from the fans and the atmosphere in Melbourne was really special,” said Yacoub.
The winner of the match between Lorenzo Musetti (Italy, ATP 5) and Taylor Fritz (USA, ATP 9) will be Novak’s next opponent.
Djokovic will play in the quarter-finals of the major tournament in Melbourne for the 16th time in his career and will compete in the semi-finals for the 13th time.
