be part of Team Europe in the ongoing campaign. Former world number one

mega-event is Russia’s Andrey Rublev, who has also not been selected for the team. The 26-year-old has recently struggled with form and fitness, which
might have contributed to the decision.

the big-name players to compete against the Team World. The likes of current
world number two and four-time Grand Slam winner Carlos Alcaraz, Germany’s Alexander
Zverev, Russia’s Daniil Medvedev, Greece’s Stefanos Tsitsipas, Norway’s Casper
Ruud and Spain’s Rafael Nadal will represent Team Europe.

Shelton, Tommy Paul, Taylor Fritz and Alex de Minaur. The other members of the
contingent will be announced soon. This will be the seventh edition of the competition.
In the previous six editions, Team Europe had a clear advantage as they won on
four occasions. However, Team World came out on top in the previous two editions. In 2023, they emerged victorious with a score of
