Tennis Australia CEO Craig Tiley said: “This is an incredibly exciting time for tennis fans. We are thrilled with the amazing support the ATP Cup has attracted from the players. This event will globally launch the tennis season in a manner that will enthral fans and entice the next generation to our sport. January can’t come quick enough.”

 

ATP Executive Chairman and President Chris Kermode said: “We’re delighted to see such a star-studded player field lining up for the inaugural ATP Cup. Our belief was that week one in the calendar, together with Tennis Australia, would work best for player scheduling, and today’s announcement is a confirmation of that. Having the top players competing in this new global event is critical, and the ATP Cup looks set to kick off the ATP Tour season in a big way in 2020.”

The top two players for each country are committed to play, subject to change based on the ATP Rankings at the second entry deadline on 13 November, when remaining team members (up to an additional three players) will gain acceptance. Additionally, on that date, a further five countries will qualify to compete at the 24-country ATP Cup based on the ranking of their No.1 singles player.

The group stages of the AUD $22 million ATP Cup will be hosted in Brisbane, Perth and Sydney over six days.

The draw will be broadcast to a global audience on the ATP Cup Facebook page from 10:40am AEST so fans can follow from around the world. The latest news and live updates will be posted on Twitter and Instagram.
