Australian stars Ajla Tomljanovic and Alex de Minaur will also be competing.
Sydney and Perth will each host nine teams — 3 groups of 3 countries — who will compete in a round robin format for AUD $15 million in prize money as well as 500 ATP and WTA world ranking points.
The winners from each round, as well as the best runner up in each city, will advance to the quarterfinals in Perth on 3 January 2024. The winners from each quarterfinal will then progress to the semi-finals and finals taking place in Sydney from 6 to 7 January 2024.
Perth matches will take place at RAC Arena over 6 action packed days and include top-ranked players from Serbia, Poland, Australia, the United States, Great Britain, Czech Republic, Spain, and China.
