Draper & Raducanu to team up for GB at United Cup

British number ones Jack Draper and Emma Raducanu could partner each other in mixed doubles after agreeing to play at next year's United Cup in Australia.

Great Britain, Poland and Australia are the first three teams to be confirmed for the mixed-team event, which will take place in Perth and Sydney from 2 to 11 January the week before the Australian Open.

Draper pulled out of the 2025 event with injury before Britain exited at the quarter-finals, while 2026 will be Raducanu's United Cup debut.

"To see British [number ones] in Jack Draper and Emma Raducanu line up for the first time will bring new star power to the tournament," said United Cup director Stephen Farrow.
