2026 is off and running with the United Cup.
Baez beat Munar in straights and Tsitsipas beat Mochizuki. The players have numbers next to their names which may or not be their seeds. Tsitsipas has 12 and Mochizuki has 13. It looks weird and I can’t be bothered to find out why.
Okay, I’m not that lazy. The seeding represents their country, suggesting that Tsitsipas and Mochizuki are somehow evenly matched. No doubt this has been done to counter criticism of the vast difference in level between players in this format. To the casual fan hesitant on parting with significant dollars for a ticket, this may make the deal look more appealing.
