WHERE THE COUNTRIES WILL PLAY

VIEW LIST OF COMMITTED PLAYERS

Stephen Farrow, United Cup Tournament Director: “You can see from the draw here, we have big names in each city. This event has very quickly, as you can see by the player field, really established itself as an event that players want to play. We saw with the passion and intensity with the matches earlier in the year that came across, and the fact the players chose to enter is really testament to the event and the will we put into it.” 

Perth

Top seeds Poland, led by world No.2 and four-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek and [11] Hubert Hurkacz will headline Group A at RAC Arena in Perth, alongside Spain and a third team to be confirmed, based on WTA rankings, in November.

The Australian team led by world No.13 Alex de Minaur and Ajla Tomljanovic have been drawn into Group C. Also in this group are defending champions USA featuring world No.5 Jessica Pegula and [9] Taylor Fritz and Great Britain with Cameron Norrie and Katie Boulter.

Sydney

No.2 seeds Stefanos Tsitsipas and Maria Sakkari’s Team Greece top Group B in Sydney. They will face Team Canada, making their United Cup debut with Felix Auger-Aliassime and Leylah Fernandez. A third team, determined by ATP rankings, will be confirmed in November.

Grand Slam champion and fan favourite Angelique Kerber will make her return to tennis following maternity leave at the United Cup in Sydney, representing Germany alongside Alexander Zverev. They are in Group D alongside No.4 seeds France and Italy.

Croatia’s Borna Coric and Donna Vekic lead Group F alongside Netherlands and Norway, with world No.8 Casper Ruud.

The second edition will see each city host nine teams - three more than 2023. Each team will comprise up to three men and three women.

In a new format for 2024, each tie will be determined in one session and is made up of one men’s singles and one women’s singles match featuring the No.1 ranked singles players, followed by one mixed doubles match.

Perth’s RAC Arena will host the first day of the United Cup on Friday 29 December, with the group stage in Sydney beginning on Saturday 30 December.

Group winners in each city will advance to the quarterfinals, with one quarterfinal spot in each city awarded to the best runner-up in that city.

Winners progress to the semifinals and finals in Sydney which will be played on 6 and 7 January.

The final two remaining countries will be admitted to the competition on Monday 20 November, based on the rankings published on this date.
