ATP Unveils 'ATP Cup' Team Event For 2020 Season

Spoiler:

The ATP and Tennis Australia today officially unveiled the ATP Cup - a new team competition to kickstart the men’s tennis season from 2020. The tournament, which was announced during the Nitto ATP Finals in London, will be played across three Australian cities over ten days in the lead up to the Australian Open and will feature teams from 24 countries.
World No. 1 and President of the ATP Player Council Novak Djokovic was among the players who joined ATP Executive Chairman & President Chris Kermode and Craig Tiley, CEO of Tennis Australia, to reveal the details of the competition, which has been shaped through extensive consultation over several years with players, tournament organisers and sponsors. The launch also revealed the ATP Cup’s new brand identity and a promotional video to bring the plans to life.
The event sees the return of an ATP team competition into the calendar for the first time since the ATP World Team Cup, which was held in Dusseldorf from 1978-2012.
The move represents the latest initiative by ATP to innovate in the sport, as well as providing increased earning opportunities for its players, and introducing new fans to the game. The tournament will ensure every season starts with an event with a truly global profile, giving players the chance to see their nation crowned the best in the world. The 2020 ATP Cup will offer US$15 million in prize money and up to 750 ATP Rankings points to the winners.
Djokovic, who finished 2018 as year-end No.1 for a fifth time, stated: “I like that it’s owned by ATP, by the players, and that we have ranking points, and it’s going to be the best way to kick start the season. Australia is a country that has a Grand Slam, that nurtures tennis tradition. More than 90 per cent of the time we’re playing as individuals and we don’t have too many team events. This is going to bring together a lot of nations and for me personally it will be a very nice and proud moment to represent my country.”
Kermode added: “This new event fits perfectly with our strategy to innovate and look towards the future. We know from our extensive discussions with the players that the ATP Cup will provide a great way for them to open their season – bringing together the world’s best for a major team event that compliments existing scheduling, provides highly-coveted ATP ranking points and clearly links to the Australian Open. The first week of the season is when the players want to play and that’s why the tournament has their strong support. By staging the event with Tennis Australia, which is renowned for its experience as an outstanding event promoter, we know that the tournament will be a great success from year one.”
Tennis Australia CEO, Craig Tiley added: “This is an amazing opportunity, in close collaboration with the players and the tour, to deliver a globally impactful event that further elevates the sport and the fan interest in it.
“We want to keep growing tennis, give the players an environment where they can perform to the best of their abilities and then ensure they are appropriately appreciated and rewarded. This event will help us all achieve that while connecting with new generations of tennis fans. It will provide a new source of inspiration for young athletes to choose our sport.”
The format of the ATP Cup will see nations split into six groups, with eight teams emerging from the round-robin stage to compete in the knockout phase until only one team is left standing. There will be up to five players in each team, with ties comprising two singles matches and one doubles match. The criteria for entry into the ATP Cup will be based off the ATP Ranking of the No. 1 singles player from each country.

Trudno mi to jednak sobie wyobrazić w praktyce. Wprawdzie podróże to stały punkt programu w życiu sportowca, ale tarzać się między 3 miastami i grać 10 dni u progu szlema, może zaorać obsadę tego turnieju. Niby początek sezonu, ale kto będzie chciał rokrocznie się w taki sposób szczypać?

Puchar Hopmana był idealny.

Czyli w drugiej połowie listopada mamy finały Pucharu Davisa, gdzie będzie 12 zespołów, które najpierw w grupach grają w formule best of 3 (i mecze best of 3), a następnie playoffy od ćwierćfinałów do finałów przez tydzień, a potem na początku stycznia mamy Puchar ATP, gdzie ... 24 zespoły podzielone na grupy grają w formule best of 3, a następnie playoffy od ćwierćfinałów do finałów przez 10 dni? A oba turnieje mają bardzo kiepskie terminy, bo przy Pucharze Davisa najlepsi dostają po sezonie 5 singli do rozegrania (+ ew. deble), a przy tym Pucharze ATP: 6 singli + deble przed AO?

Zanosi się na grubsze nieporozumienie.

Podejrzewam, że Davis będzie miał mocno challengerową obsadę i dość szybko tej projekt upadnie.

[DUN I LOVE]

Wydaje mi się, że oba projekty upadną, jeżeli ITF i ATP się jakoś nie dogadają do jednej formuły. 750 punktów do rankingu to sporo, ale czy na pewno dla najlepszych?

Davis to zostanie olany przez najlepszych chyba już dla samej zasady "nie będzie nam jakiś pilkarz ustawiał życia" i wcale się nie dziwię, kim do diabła jest dla nich Piwie?

Wypruwać sobie żył nikt raczej będzie, puchar Hopman tak naprawdę służy za przygotowania do AO, przy okazji jest to dobra zabawa. Ja wiem, że raz Serena Williams ostentacyjnie połamała rakietę, a u nas panowała olbrzymia podnieta, że jesteśmy mistrzami świata, nikt jednak nie traktował tego poważnie, był to po prostu dobry trening przez pierwszą imprezą wielkoszlemową. W dzisiejszy tenisowym świecie nie ma zwyczajnie miejsca na takie imprezy, jest to sport indywidualny, reszta to dodatek.

[DUN I LOVE]

Ja uważam jak Mario - Puchar Hopmana to jest idealna forma przygotowań do AO. 3 lub 4 mecze, zarówno w singlu jak i w deblu można doszlifować wszystkie możliwe elementy rzemiosła, a przy tym dawka gry idealna - nie za mało, nie za dużo. Super formuła i szkoda, że zostanie zaorana.
