Big Three’, Andy Murray To Feature In Innaugural ATP Cup
The trio of Roger Federer, Rafa Nadal, and Novak Djokovic known as the 'big three'have confirmed that they will play in the inaugural ATP Cup in a boost for the nation-based event in the Australian Open.
Having the top players competing in this new global event is critical, and the ATP Cup looks set to kick off the ATP Tour season in a big way in 2020,” ATP boss Chris Kermode said in a statement.
Former world number one Andy Murray is back after having a hip surgery and is billed to play for Great Britain with compatriot Kyle Edmund.
Eighteen countries had qualified for the game after the first round deadline on Friday, with hosts Australia given a wildcard spot.
The 24 countries will play in six groups of four for group stage, round-robin play, with the group winners and the two best second-placed finishers across the groups reaching the ATP Cup Finals in Sydney.
