The second edition of the United Cup will once again act as the official curtain-raiser for the new tennis season Down Under.

Some of the sport's biggest stars will be in the Australian cities of Perth and Sydney for the 10-day spectacle that will begin in earnest on December 29 and run till January 7. Players participating in this mixed-gender competition can earn a maximum of 500 ranking points.

A total of 18 countries will feature in the second installment of the United Cup, among them the host nation Australia, which will be led by ATP World No. 12 Alex de Minaur. They will also be the source for the services of Ajla Tomljanovic, who recently returned to winning form at the 125 level in November.

Poland, the top-seeded country at the 2024 United Cup, has the most formidable duo on paper. WTA No. 1 Iga Swiatek and ATP No. 9 Hubert Hurkacz are participating for the second consecutive year.

Also returning is Team Greece with their effervescent pair of Stefanos Tsitsipas and Maria Sakkari. The double prowess of Petros Tsitsipas (Stefanos's younger brother) could also be helpful. He is also part of the band.

The USA won the inaugural competition last season, but some valuable members from that title-winning team won't feature next season. However, they retained their top-ranked male and female players, with Taylor Frtiz and Jessica Pegula expected to shoulder all their hopes.

ATP World No. 1 Novak Djokovic is making his debut at the event where he is part of a Serbian team lacking experience but not talent. Newly-crowned Next Gen ATP Finals champion Hamad Medjedovic and 22-year-old Olga Danilovic form an exciting team.

Last season's runners-up, Italy, have rung the changes. This time, they'll be led by Lorenzo Sonego and Jasmine Paolini. The United Cup will mark as the official return tournament for Angelique Kerber, who is back from maternity leave. She'll join Alexander Zverev, Tatjana Maria, and Laura Siegemund in a decent German lineup.

Great Britain is also bringing some of their most prominent names, such as Cameron Norrie, Daniel Evans, and Katie Boulter, while Spain will be without Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal. They'll entrust Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and Sara Sorribes Tormo to take charge.

Russia and Belarus won't be allowed to enter this event for the second year. You can check the complete entry list of all the countries and players below.
