³ In the final tie against Slovakia, Alicia Molik had to retire during her singles match and forfeit the doubles match due to a foot injury. Despite this, they finished top of their group but because of Molik's injury, did not compete in the final.^[5]

Australia mixed team at United Cup

Overview

Australia began its United Cup debut in 2023, in the inaugural edition of the tournament as hosts. They were paired with Great Britain and Spain in Group D, hosted in Sydney. Number one ranked ATP player, Nick Kyrgios pulled out on the eve of the competition due to injury^[6] and the number one ranked WTA player, Ajla Tomljanovic whilst still on the team list, was unable to compete in the event, also due to a knee injury.^[7] Neither player would then go on to play the 2023 Australian Open as a consequence of those injuries.^[8]^[9]

Australia's first match was against Great Britain, which they lost 2–3.

After Great Britain went on to defeat Spain, Australia then beat Spain in the final tie of the Group in which neither team could advance to the knockout stages. Australia won the tie 3–2, notably with Alex De Minaur beating Rafael Nadal in the first match of the tie.^[10]^[11]
