What is the format of the United Cup?

The United Cup is a new mixed tennis tournament, played in a team competition format. 18 nations – comprising up to four men and four women – will face off to be crowned inaugural champions.

Countries have been split into six pools of three teams. Teams will play five matches per tie – two men’s singles, two women’s singles, and one mixed doubles match – in the round-robin stage.

The winners of each group will face the other group winners in their city in the quarter-finals. The champions from each city – along with the best-ranked losing nation – will head to Sydney to compete in the semi-finals and the final.
