Hopman Cup, Day 7: Preview, Schedule, Time, and Where to Watch

The Hopman Cup is nearing its end with the final round of group stage matches set to take place tomorrow at the Perth Stadium in Perth.

The Group B matches came to an end today, with Switzerland progressing through to the final despite losing 2-1 to Greece. It was Roger Federer's singles win against rising star Stefanos Tsitsipas which sent Switzerland into the final. It was a close-fought encounter with Federer coming out on top 7-6(5), 7-6(4). Tsitsipas had his opportunities in the first set tie-breaker when he was leading 4-1, but Federer stormed back to win the set.

Maria Sakkari won her doubles match with ease and then followed that up with a mixed doubles win along with Tsitsipas, however, it was a little too late as Switzerland had already progressed into the final.

Earlier in the day, USA suffered a third straight loss, losing 2-1 to Great Britain. Serena Williams was the lone winner for the USA, winning her singles encounter against Katie Boulter with ease. Cameron Norrie defeated Frances Tiafoe earlier and later on, the Brits won the mixed-doubles encounter as well. However, it was a dead rubber as both the teams had already been knocked out.
