The United Cup is a team tennis tournament that will take place from December 29, 2023 to January 7, 2024. It has been known for several weeks that the highest seeded team in the tournament will be Poland, led by Iga Swiatek and Hubert Hurkacz. What do the tournament groups look like? Here they are.
The United Cup is a team tournament. This is the first team competition for both genders to award players both ATP and WTA ranking points. The event is held in Australia, which is why it is often referred to as a warm-up before the January Australian Open, which is the first slam of the season. The tournament is played in two cities. The group winners in each city play against each other in the so-called city final for the spot in the semi-finals. The semi-finals and final last a total of three days.
Perth will host the first day of the United Cup on Friday 29 December, with the group stage in Sydney beginning on Saturday 30 December. Each tie will be determined in one session and will include one men’s singles and one women’s singles match featuring the No.1 ranked singles players, followed by one mixed doubles match. Group winners in each city advance to the quarter-finals, with one quarter-final spot in each city awarded to the best runner-up in that city.
Teams are competing for AUD $15 million in prize money and 500 Pepperstone ATP and 500 WTA Tour Rankings points. Here are the groups.
