The 2024 United Cup is upon us, and we have many nations going head to head as many former and current players, such as Lleyton Hewitt, will serve as team captains.

The United Cup features many nations competing against each other in a pretty unique team format. Each team will have team captains who will guide their teams throughout the competitions, handling the nominations.

Some pretty big names among the captains include former players such as Lleyton Hewitt for Australia. He's been handling the men's national team for a long time, so this will hardly be difficult for him.

Some other former players have never been in a situation like this, and for them, it might get a bit more tricky. Notable other player coaches include Petros Tsitsipas for Greece, Edouard Roger-Vasselin for France, and Wesley Koolhof for the Netherlands.

Poland, which will be led by duo Iga Swiatek and Hubert Hurkacz, will be captained by Swiatek's coach Tomasz Wiktorowski, and the USA chose similar approach, appointing Jessica Pegula's coach, David Witt.

Novak Djokovic-led Serbia will have their Davis Cup captain, Viktor Troicki, also at the United Cup, and Casper Ruud's father, Christian Ruud, will lead Norway's team at the tournament.

The event will begin on December 29th and will run through January 7th, with many big names participating. Novak Djokovic is the biggest name at the event, but there will be plenty of others, such as Stefanos Tsitsipas, Iga Swiatek, Casper Ruud, Jessica Pegula, and others.
