PRINCETON, N.J. – Princeton University men's tennis team alumni Matija Pecotic '13 will represent Croatia at the first United Cup, being held at multiple sites in Australia from Thursday, December 28, until Sunday, January 8.
The United Cup is an 18-team, mixed-team competition. The 11-day tournament will be played across three cities, Sydney (Sydney Olympic Park Tennis Center), Brisbane (Queensland Tennis Center) and Perth (RAC Arena).
The group stage will be played from Dec. 29 to Jan. 3. Each city will host two groups of three countries, competing in a round-robin format. Played over two days, ties will be comprised of two ATP and two WTA singles matches between the No.1-ranked players and No.2-ranked players and one mixed doubles match. If the tie is locked at 2-2 after singles, the mixed doubles match will decide the winner.
The winner of each of the two groups will advance to the City Final on Wednesday, Jan. 4 to determine which team will advance to the United Cup Final Four. The fourth team will be the City Final runner-up with the best record from its three matches.
The Final Four will have a travel day on Thursday, Jan. 5. The semifinals will be played across two days on Friday, Jan. 6 and Saturday, Jan. 7 in Sydney.
At Princeton, Pecotic was a 2013 Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) All-America honoree, and was a three-time Ivy League Player of the Year along with a three-time All-Ivy League honoree. He reached as high as No. 2 in the ITA singles rankings, and No. 11 in doubles. Currently ranked No. 831 in the world, he has been ranked as high as No. 206 in 2015.
