More notable players signed up for United Cup including Iga Swiatek, Qinwen Zheng and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina

The deadline for confirming the tennis players who will participate in the 2024 United Cup is approaching, and the top players set to ignite the tournament have been confirmed.

The United Cup was created to replace the ATP Cup (2020 – 2022), although this is a mixed-gender tournament played among 18 nations with their best male and female tennis players.

The tournament is scheduled to begin on December 29 and will take place in three different cities over 11 days, offering a maximum of 500 points to the participating tennis players.

Several top-10 players had already been confirmed, including North Americans Jessica Pegula and Taylor Fritz, Greek stars Stefanos Tsitsipas and Maria Sakkari, along with Alexander Zverev, Leylah Fernandez, Borna Coric, and Felix Auger-Aliassime.

The tournament will also mark the return to the courts of two players who are making comebacks after becoming mothers: Angelique Kerber and Naomi Osaka.

Now, a new list has been revealed with other tennis players joining the tournament. A standout addition is the world No. 2, Iga Swiatek, who will team up with Peter Luczak and doubles specialist Jan Zielinski.
