Hopman : In order to reach the 2019 Mastercard Hopman Cup final, Australia must overcome two of the world’s finest players.
Ash Barty and Matt Ebden need a win today against tournament favorites Germany, represented by world No.2 Angelique Kerber and no.4 Alexander Zverev, to finish first in Group A and play in the final.
This is the first time Ebden has come across Zverev.
Barty and Kerber have split their previous four matches, with the Australian coming out on top in two of those matches, including a straight-sets triumph in Wuhan at the end of last year.
Even though Kerber has won all six of her singles matches at the Mastercard Hopman Cup over the last two years, she remains worried about Barty’s improvement.
“Playing against her is always a challenge and a lot of fun,” she remarked.
We’ve had a lot of close games in the past. Moreover, she enjoys playing in this same room at home.

Barty, who was ranked No.15 in the world at the end of 2018, has continued her strong play from this past week at the RAC Arena.
When she defeated Frenchwoman Alize Cornet and Spanish two-time Grand Slam winner Garbine Muguruza, she did not lose a set in either match.
But she is aware that she must improve much more if she wants to defeat Kerber.
She is one of the top competitors in the world, she claimed, adding, “it’s another level again.”
The onus of good service is once again on me. And it’s a bit different when facing a lefty’s serve.
We’re simply going to lock in on my end of the court, be as aggressive as possible, push the ball forward whenever possible, and try to set the pace.
Kerber has lost a set against both Cornet and Muguruza in the previous week, but she has still won both of their respective matches.
In his hometown, Ebden has had mixed results, with wins against Frenchman Lucas Pouille and losses to veteran Spaniard David Ferrer. Zverev was victorious against both of them, although he lost a set in each triumph, just as Kerber did.
Germany and Australia are each looking for their third Cup victory.
Back in 2016, Nick Kyrgios and Daria Gavrilova of the home country won.
When Germans Boris Becker and Anke Huber won the titles in 1995, it had been a long time since then.
