## Article

Mirage News reported that the draw and playing schedule were revealed today, naming the countries and players who will compete across Perth and Sydney. WTA Tennis said the event will run over 10 days and feature 18 countries split into six groups.

The United Cup is an international hard court tennis competition featuring mixed-gender teams from 18 countries. The first event was held in December 2022 into January 2023, and the tournament is played across multiple Australian cities over 10 days in the lead-up to the Australian Open.

Sydney and Perth will each host nine teams in a round-robin format. WTA Tennis said the three group winners in each city, as well as the best-performing runner-up in each, will advance to the quarterfinals. Each tie will feature three matches, combining men's and women's singles with mixed doubles.

Mirage News reported that teams from the United States, Canada and Poland will take to the court at RAC Arena for the Perth leg.

WTA Tennis said Coco Gauff, Linda Noskova and Maja Chwalinska will headline January's United Cup, with Elise Mertens, Belinda Bencic and the returning Victoria Mboko also scheduled to play.

Mirage News said Shelton and Gauff are the men's and women's world number fours, and Poland's Maja Chwalinska is a Roland-Garros finalist.

Mirage News quoted Roger Cook, Premier and Tourism, Trade and Investment Minister, saying: "The United Cup will once again bring some of the world's best tennis players to Perth, giving Western Australians the chance to see elite international sport up close and kicking off another exciting summer of tennis."

The United Cup has become a key lead-in event to the Australian Open, drawing a world-class field to Perth and showcasing Western Australia to global audiences through international broadcast coverage. Previous tournaments in Perth have featured former world number one players Naomi Osaka, Novak Djokovic and Iga Swiatek, current world number two Alexander Zverev, US Open champion Coco Gauff, and Greek fan favourite Stefanos Tsitsipas.

WTA Tennis said the tournament is a WTA Tour Driven by Mercedes-Benz and ATP-combined team competition. The 2026 United Cup was the fourth edition, held from 2 to 11 January at two venues in Perth and Sydney, and offered both ATP and WTA rankings points with a maximum of 500 points available to a player.

The next stage is the group phase in Perth and Sydney, with quarterfinals to follow once the round-robin matches are complete.
