Hopman Cup paused for 2024 due to Paris Olympics, set to resume in 2025

With the Olympic Games set to be held in Paris this year, there will be one less tennis event on the calendar, as the annual Hopman Cup has been postponed till 2025.
The Hopman Cup is a mixed-gender international tennis event that sees players represent their country as they battle for the title. Conceived in 1989, it was held annually till 2019, when it was replaced by the now defunct ATP Cup. However, it returned to the calendar in 2023, hosted on the outdoor clay courts in Nice, France.
Croatia lifted title at most recent edition
The team of Borna Coric and Donna Vekic, who represented Croatia in the men's and women's singles events respectively, triumphed at the 2023 edition. They defeated Switzerland in the final, although the Swiss team did not feature the likes of Roger Federer, Stan Wawrinka or Belinda Bencic. Nonetheless, the Croatian duo looked impressive in their victory, and will most likely return as defending champions at next year's edition, which will return in Cote d'Azur, France in 2025.

- Must be okay to do this because WTA apparently could care less. They seem to be even more distant since the Saudi's filled their personal bank accounts. This particular smashing was extreme... and in front of so many little children who (unfortunately in some cases) look up to these players.
mandoist02-05-2024 - Unfortunately the WTA & ITF Fat-Cats are comfortable lounging in their elite surroundings and do not hear anything they do not wish to hear. Not to mention how any compassion, concerns, or sensibility toward the general overall health of players likely went away with their filthy Saudi pocket money.mandoist02-05-2024
