2021 ATP Cup Entry List with Djokovic, Nadal, Thiem

The second edition of the ATP Cup takes place in Melbourne between February 2-6, with 12 countries battling for the prestigious team title ahead of the Australian Open.

Novak Djokovic leads the defending champions Serbia, joined by Filip Krajinovic, Dusan Lajovic and Nikola Cacic. Diego Schwartzman is the player to beat from the Argentine squad, while Spain brings their best team, forged around Rafael Nadal, Roberto Bautista Agut, Pablo Carreno Busta and Marcel Granollers.

Spain lost the final to Serbia a year ago, and they want to chase the title in the second edition of this event. Matteo Berrettini and Fabio Fognini will defend Italy's colors in singles, with Dominic Thiem and Kei Nishikori leading Austria and Japan.

Top-10 stars Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev will seek Russia's title, with Gael Monfils, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Milos Raonic, Denis Shapovalov, and Alexander Zverev also in contention.

ATP Cup Tournament Director Tom Larner said: “Last year we launched the global tennis season with the inaugural ATP Cup. It was a huge success with both players and fans, and we are excited to present the second edition in Melbourne in 2021. The players are looking forward to stepping up and representing their countries again, and the field, including defending champions Serbia and finalists Spain, is strong. This is a format that shows off the passion of the players and we’re expecting some spectacular tennis action.”
