Hopman Cup

The Hopman Cup is an international tennis tournament that plays mixed-gender teams on a country-by-country basis.

[1] It was first held in Perth, Western Australia each year from 1989 to 2019, played on indoor hardcourt, before being replaced on the calendar in 2020 by the now defunct ATP Cup.

It returned in July 2023 in Nice, France, played on outdoor clay, with six teams invited to participate.

The championship is named in honour of Harry Hopman (1906–1985), an Australian tennis player and coach who guided the country to 15 Davis Cup titles between 1938 and 1969.

The 20th Hopman Cup, in 2008, was intended to be the last held at the Burswood Dome, however this was extended until 2012 when the new Perth Arena was due for completion.

[6][7] Previously, the former Australian tennis player Paul McNamee, who played a key role in the founding of the championships, was the tournament director.

In 2019 for the 31st edition of the tournament, a record crowd of 14,064 witnessed the 2019 Hopman Cup match between United States and Switzerland.

[15] In March 2024, it was decided that the Hopman Cup would not be held that year due to the 2024 Summer Olympics and would return in 2025.
