Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

Billy Harris and Alex de Minaur will face each other for the first time at the tour level. However, they have previously met at the Spain F4 tournament on clay, where de Minaur emerged victorious after a tough match, winning 1-6, 7-5, 6-1.

Harris, a 29-year-old player from Great Britain, is currently ranked at World No. 125, with his career-high being No. 101 in September 2024. He achieved a significant milestone in his career by breaking into the Top 500 in December 2021 and the Top 200 in December 2023. Harris had a successful 2024 season, with a semifinal appearance at Eastbourne and a quarterfinal appearance at London/Queen’s Club, where he defeated the No. 32 player, Etcheverry. He also made his ATP Tour debut in 2023 at Sofia, where he secured his first tour-level win by defeating Huesler in the first round.

Having a record of 50-55 in Challenger tournaments and 172-131 on the ITF World Tennis Tour, Harris reached the semifinals and final, respectively, in those competitions. He even won the 2022 M25 Nottingham title. Harris started his professional career by traveling in a transit van around Europe to save money while competing on the ITF World Tennis Tour. It is important to note that Harris is making his United Cup debut and holds the position of the British No. 1 male player in the team.

On the other hand, Alex de Minaur, a 25-year-old player from Australia, currently holds the World No. 9 ranking, with a career-high of No. 6 achieved in July 2024. Notably, he became the first Australian player to qualify for the Nitto ATP Finals in singles since Hewitt in 2004. De Minaur had an outstanding 2024 season, accumulating 47 wins and winning two ATP Tour titles in Acapulco. He had achieved similar success in 2022, earning another 47 victories and capturing his first ATP Tour titles.

De Minaur’s career includes significant milestones such as reaching his first Grand Slam quarterfinal at the 2020 US Open, immediately after winning his first ATP Tour doubles title with Carreno Busta at the 2020 ATP Masters 1000 Cincinnati. He has also reached quarterfinals in Grand Slams and ATP Masters 1000 tournaments, including the 2024 Roland Garros, Wimbledon, and US Open, as well as the 2023 Toronto Masters. De Minaur’s achievements extend beyond individual tournaments; he helped Team World win the 2022 Laver Cup and played a crucial role in leading Australia to its first Davis Cup final since 2003, with a 6-1 record in Davis Cup play.

Notably, de Minaur comes from a mixed heritage, with a Uruguayan father and a Spanish mother. He splits his time between Australia and Spain and is fluent in English, Spanish, and French. This marks de Minaur’s third consecutive appearance at the United Cup, where he has a record of 5-2 in singles matches. His notable victories include defeating Nadal in the 2022 round-robin stage and Djokovic in the 2023 quarterfinals. However, de Minaur has struggled in matchups against top-ranked opponents, holding a 2-8 record against players ranked in the Top 2. In his most recent match against Etcheverry, de Minaur secured his 250th career win with a score of 6-1, 6-4.

In the mixed doubles category, Katie Boulter and Charles Broom from Great Britain will be facing Ellen Perez and Matthew Ebden from Australia at the United Cup. The tournament will take place from December 27, 2024, to January 5, 2025, at the Perth – RAC Arena. On Wednesday, the quarterfinals will be held.
