Tennis fans around the world have a lot to look forward to as the 2023 Eisenhower Cup prepares to make its grand return to the Indian Wells Tennis Garden.
The Eisenhower Cup is a one-night Tie Break Tens event that will see eight teams battle it out in a single-elimination draw. The Tie Break Tens format is a fast-paced, innovative approach to tennis that involves first-to-ten-point tiebreak matches. The tournament will feature a total of seven matches throughout the evening, each of which is sure to be action-packed and full of surprises.
The teams are made up of some of the most popular and successful players in the world, including many fellow countrymates who will be competing together for the first time. The event will be a charitable event, with all proceeds going to support local charities in the area.
Among the confirmed pairings are some of the biggest names in tennis today, including the likes of 2023 Australian Open Champion Aryna Sabalenka and 2022 BNP Paribas Open Champion Taylor Fritz. Also competing will be World No. 1, and three-time Grand Slam Champion Iga Swiatek, who will be teaming up with World No. 10 Hubert Hurkacz.
The event will also feature 2021 US Open Champion Emma Raducanu and 2021 BNP Paribas Open Champion Cameron Norrie, as well as 2021 US Open Finalist Leylah Fernandez and World No. 8 Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Other notable pairings include World No. 3 Ons Jabeur and World No. 4 Casper Ruud, World No. 4 Jessica Pegula and 2023 Australian Open semifinalist Tommy Paul, and World No. 7 Maria Sakkari and World No. 3 Stefanos Tsitsipas. These are some of the most talented and exciting players in the game today, and fans will no doubt be thrilled to see them compete in this special event.
“We are thrilled that The Eisenhower Cup will return for a fourth time to serve as a meaningful charitable event to ring in two weeks of exciting action in Tennis Paradise. Tennis fans will be treated to the brightest stars of both tours pairing up for a fun and unique mixed doubles event, and we extend our sincerest thank you to all players for their participation in supporting this great cause.”
In addition, the 2023 Eisenhower Cup is also a $200,000 winner-take-all event.
