The ATP Cup, which acts as a warm-up event for the Australian Open, was played in Brisbane, Perth and Sydney last year, but has moved to Melbourne to allow the players to stay in a Covid-safe bubble before the Grand Slam starts on 8 February - live on Eurosport and the Eurosport app.

Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Dominic Thiem are the headline names who will be representing their nations at the ATP Cup in Melbourne next month.

Serbia defeated Spain in last year's final and the two could well face off again as the field is reduced to 12 countries from 24 as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The draw is on January 20 with the tournament taking place from February 1-5.
