Another season full of emotional moments and record-breaking achievements is set to begin. The 2024 ATP Tour season kicks off with three events — the United Cup, the Brisbane International presented by Evie and the Bank of China Hong Kong Tennis Open.
The United Cup will take place in Sydney and Perth, with the final four teams gathering in Sydney to pursue the coveted trophy. The United States will try to successfully defend its title, while Australia will be among the countries trying to emerge victorious.
Nine of the world’s top 20 men’s players including 24-times major champion Novak Djokovic of Serbia, Melbourne runner-up Stefanos Tsitsipas from Greece, World No. 7 Alexander Zverev of Germany and 11th-ranked Norwegian Casper Ruud will play in the second edition of the $10 million event.
World No. 1 and French Open champion Iga Swiatek leads the big names among women as she bids to guide Poland to victory in the hard-court event.
