The exhibition tournament began in 1989 and was named after Australian great Harry Hopman. It had a popular pre-Australian Open warm-up slot before being replaced by the short-lived ATP Cup men’s team competition. United Cup – a new mixed-sex 15 million USD tournament featuring teams from 18 countries playing matches across three Australian cities kicked off the 2023 season.

What is the history of Hopman Cup?

Three Australian players Paul McNamee, Charlie Fancutt and Pat Cash co-founded the event and dedicated it to Hopman, who led Australia to 16 Davis Cup titles. The event began with the aim of standing alongside the Davis Cup and the Billie Jean King Cup.

The first edition was held at Burswood Dome in Perth in 1989. The same venue went on to host the event till 2012 before moving to Perth Arena for the next seven years. This year will be the 32nd edition of the tournament.

What is the format of Hopman Cup?

Mixed teams from all over the world represent their countries. Every tie consists of a men’s singles and women’s singles match followed by a mixed doubles fixture.

All matches are played in a best-of-three sets format with the third set being a 10-point super tie-break.
