The third edition of the United Cup 2025 will usher in the new season of tennis. The mixed-gender team event will be held from December 27, 2024 to January 5, 2025 in the cities of Perth and Sydney in Australia. 18 teams have been divided into six groups, and the top eight teams will advance to the knockout rounds.
World No. 2 Alexander Zverev will spearhead Germany's title defense. Five-time Major champion Iga Swiatek, who carried Poland to the final by remaining unbeaten in her singles ties in 2024, will look to hoist the winner's trophy this time.
World No. 3 Coco Gauff will be making her United Cup debut. She will be joined by Taylor Fritz and Danielle Collins, among others, as part of the US team. Top 10 players Jasmine Paolini and Elena Rybakina will lead Italy and Kazakhstan, respectively.
Felix Auger-Aliassime and Leylah Fernandez will lead the Canadians, while Stefanos Tsitsipas and Maria Sakkari will headline team Greece. Home hope Alex de Minaur will aim to make Australia proud, while his fiance Katie Boulter will try to do the same for Great Britain.
Norway's hopes will rest on Casper Ruud, while Ugo Humbert will be expected to carry the French contingent. Karolina Muchova and Tomas Machac will be the top guns in Czechia's arsenal, with Donna Vekic and Borna Coric playing the same role for Croatia.
Belinda Bencic will continue her comeback at the United Cup, and will be the most experienced player in team Switzerland. Brazil, Argentina, and Spain are the remaining three teams contesting the event this year.
