United Cup draw: Gauff, Noskova, Chwalinska headline 2027 field

Coco Gauff, Linda Noskova and Maja Chwalinska will headline January's United Cup, which will be played over the course of 10 days in Perth and Sydney.

Elise Mertens, Belinda Bencic and the returning Victoria Mboko are also scheduled to play.

The WTA Tour Driven by Mercedes-Benz and ATP-combined team competition, which kicks off on Jan. 1 and runs through Jan. 10, will feature 18 countries split across six groups.

Sydney and Perth will each host nine teams in a round-robin format. The three group winners in each city, as well as the best-performing runner-up in each, will advance to the quarterfinals. 

United Cup

Each tie will feature three matches -- a women's singles match, a men's singles match and a mixed doubles match. The singles matches are best-of-three tiebreak sets. The mixed doubles matches are two tiebreak sets, with a deciding 10-point match tiebreak if necessary.

The group stage in Perth will be played at the RAC Arena from Jan. 1 to Jan. 5, and the quarterfinals will be held there the following day. The group stage in Sydney will be contested at Ken Rosewall Arena from Jan. 2 to Jan. 6, and the quarterfinals will be played over the following two days.

The two semifinals will then be played in Sydney on Jan. 9. The final will be on Jan. 10.

The 2027 United Cup will be the fifth edition of the team event. United States has won it twice, in 2023 and 2025. Poland is the defending champion.

Below are the six groups, the locations and the participating players.
