The Slovak Republic are on the verge of their fourth appearance in the Hopman Cup final
The Slovak Republic are on the verge of their fourth appearance in the Hopman Cup final after upsetting the host nation 2-1 yesterday. The Slovaks, winners of the mixed teams tournament in 1998 and 2005, were seeded seventh but beat top seeds USA on Monday and remained unbeaten by snatching the Group A tie against the Australians in the mixed doubles. Victory over Germany on Thursday will guarantee the Slovaks a place in Friday's final.
