After much anticipation, the inaugural ATP Cup kicks off today at Perth’s RAC Arena.
Perth will host a group stage of the competition from 3-8 January 2020, with some of the biggest names in tennis, including World No. 5 Daniil Medvedev leading Team Russia in this exciting new tournament.
Earlier in the week, Team Captain Marat Safin, along with Daniil Medvedev and World No.17 Karen Khachanov, took some time out of their pre-tournament preparations to visit Western Australia’s iconic Cottesloe Beach.
Greeted by local junior lifesavers, Team Russia soaked up the sun, competed alongside the Nippers in some sand sprints, and experienced the laid back Aussie lifestyle.
Team Russia begins their fight for ATP Cup glory tonight against the formidable Team Italy.
