You mean they re bringing back the Hopman Cup - Tennis fans welcome new mixed-gender event the United Cup

By Parag Jain Modified 07 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share The United Cup will begin in 2023 The ATP and WTA have once again decided to come together to host a mixed-gender tennis event, the United Cup, starting in 2023. The tournament is set to replace the ATP Cup and will act as a build-up event for the first Grand Slam of the year — the Australian Open. Men and women will have the opportunity to represent their countries together as they will participate in singles and mixed-doubles matches in the tournament, which will be held across Australia. This means that Spain could see Rafael Nadal teaming up with Paula Badosa, Poland's Iga Swiatek and Hubert Hurkacz coming together, Emma Raducanu partnering with Andy Murray, and Stefanos Tsitsipas joining forces with Maria Sakkari at the high-profile event. The announcement sent the tennis world into a frenzy, reminding them of the Hopman Cup, another mixed event that was last organized in 2019. However, unlike the cherished Hopman Cup, players will fight for ranking points at the United Cup. Tennis fans also seemed relieved at the ATP Cup getting shelved, saying that the Davis Cup was enough. "Having both the ATP Cup and the Davis Cup never made sense. Glad they've realised that. They've effectively brought back the Hopman Cup under a new name. Interested to see what it'll be like and how many of the top players will play it," a fan tweeted.

Rafael Nadal becomes the first player to qualify for the ATP Finals

Rafael Nadal at the 2020 ATP Finals Rafael Nadal's second-round win at the 2022 US Open against Fabio Fognini meant that he was the first player to qualify for the 2022 Nitto ATP Finals. The year-end championship will be held from November 13-20 in Turin. Although it's the 17th time in his career that the Spaniard has made it to the event, it remains one of the few big trophies missing from his cabinet. Speaking on his qualification in a press conference, Nadal stated that it was good news for him and that he would like to finish the year as a top-five player. "Well, I know I will be there since a while because winning two Grand Slams, it's difficult to not be there. But, yeah, good news of course. One more year at the age of 36. Finish the year probably, if nothing goes wrong, in the top five," Nadal said. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by Nihal Taraporvala × Feedback Thank You!
