Om turneringen
The United Cup is an international hard court tennis tournament featuring mixed-gender teams from 18 countries. The first event was held in December 2022 through January 2023. The tournament is played across multiple Australian cities over 11 days in the leadup to the Australian Open. It is also the first mixed-gender team event to offer both ATP rankings and WTA rankings points to its players, with a maximum 500 points for the winners.
Format
The first week of the tournament features a group phase, with six groups of three countries, which play each other in a round robin format. One group in each city plays all its ties in the morning sessions while the other plays in the evening sessions.
The group winners in each city play off in a city final for one of three semifinal spots. This city final is played in one day across a morning and an evening session. Of the three losing teams, one with the best record up to that point becomes the fourth semifinalist.
There is a travel day allocated before the semifinals and finals take place in Sydney.
In the 2023 edition, the final took place on one day. In case the tie’s winner is decided after the singles matches, the mixed doubles match would not be played.
In the 2023 edition, each tie consisted of five matches, with two men’s singles matches, two women’s singles matches, and a mixed doubles match. For the 2024 edition, each tie consists of three matches (men’s singles, women’s singles and mixed doubles).
In the 2023 edition, each tie was split into two sessions played in different days, with two matches in the first day and three matches in the second day- In the 2024 edition, the three matches are held in the same day.
