ATP Cup boost for Aussie Open participants

The ATP Cup is still scheduled to go ahead in January In Australia with Tennis Australia considering adding more events to allow players to prepare for the Australian Open.

The event, a joint venture between the men’s tour and TA, received good reviews last year, but the COVID-19 pandemic c has cast doubt whether it could continue in Perth, Brisbane and Sydney in 2021.

“We are talking a lot to the ATP every week. We both want to run it,” Tiley said.

“It was a great start-up event, it was massively successful. We are planning on having it in three cities and we’re working with those cities.

“We’ve got a lot of work to do logistically to make this all work. We need to make sure the players are safe. But I think they’re going to be pretty hungry to want to play some tennis with some crowds by the time we get to January.”
