Good news for the Australian Tennis (once again).
The Hopman Cup has been an interesting exhibition during the last few years and now it gets some more recognition from the mainstream channels that decided to broadcast it live.
From the tournament director
Tournament Director Paul Kilderry commented, “We’re excited to see the Hyundai Hopman Cup build a relationship with Seven, a long term partner of Australian tennis.
Now fans will have the opportunity to watch all the action live and free in Perth and around Australia as we continue to grow the event’s audience domestically.
The strength of the 2014 field will complement Seven’s lead-in coverage to the Australian Open.”
The Teams
The competition will take place once again in Perth from the 28th of December to the 4th of January and there will be 8 great teams as follows:
Australia – Sam Stosur and Bernard Tomic
Canada – super-hot Genie Bouchard and Milos Raonic
Czech Republic – Petra Kvitova and her boyfriend Radek Stepanek
France – Alize Cornet and Jo-Wilfred Tsonga
Italy – Flavia Pennetta and Andreas Seppi
Poland – Agnieszka Radwaska and Jerzy Janowicz
Spain – Anabel Medina Garrigues and Tommy Robredo

That will be fun!
