Wikipedia - ATP Cup
The ATP Cup was an international outdoor hard court men's tennis team tournament, which ran from 2020 to 2022. The tournament was played across one or three Australian cities over ten days in the lead up to the Australian Open, and featured teams from 12, 16 or 24 countries. The event was the first ATP team competition since the ATP World Team Cup, which was held in Düsseldorf from 1978 to 2012.
History
On 2 July 2018, ATP director Chris Kermode announced that he had plans to organise a men's team tennis tournament in response to the Davis Cup changing their format six months earlier.
The tournament at the time of the announcement had the name World Team Cup, taking from the previous World Team Cup that took place in Düsseldorf from 1978 to 2012.
On 15 November, the ATP and Tennis Australia announced that the tournament would be known as the ATP Cup, with 24 teams playing at three cities in preparation for the Australian Open. Those cities would later be revealed to be Sydney, Brisbane and Perth, while the event's inclusion also forced the axing of the Hopman Cup.
The tournament took place in Sydney, Brisbane, and Perth, with Sydney the hosts of the quarter-finals onwards. In 2021, the tournament was deferred several weeks, and moved to Melbourne Park with 12 teams, due to the restrictions on domestic travel in Australia stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2022 event would be held in Sydney with 16 teams as these restrictions were ongoing.
Following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the ITF barred Russia and Belarus from competing at the tournament.
On 7 August 2022, Tennis Australia announced that the ATP Cup would be shut down, to be replaced by a mixed-gender United Cup from 2023.
