Tournament
Hopman Cup
Update
The 2024 Hopman Cup, which takes place in the Cote d’Azur, has been postponed due to its proximity to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and event partner Tennium have announced. The event will return in 2025.
History
The Hopman Cup was co-founded by three Australian tennis players and friends, Paul McNamee, Charlie Fancutt and Pat Cash, who dedicated the event to the legendary Harry Hopman, who captained Australia to 16 Davis Cup victories. Their dream was for the Hopman Cup, a team event for men and women, to one day stand alongside the ITF’s flagship team events, the Davis Cup for men and the Billie Jean King Cup by Gainbridge for women.
Commencing in December 1988, with the support of the Western Australian Government, the Hopman Cup was conducted at the Burswood Dome for 24 years, with the ‘Hopman Cup family’ guidance of Lesley and Paul McNamee, after which it moved to a new home, the purpose-built Perth Arena.
The Hopman Cup is a fitting tribute to the man it was named after and the many people who helped create it.
