This tennis season has been an absolute corker! The United Cup has just debuted in our backyard and with the finals around the corner, now is your chance to score a ticket to a match that will absolutely go down in history.
If you’re not familiar with tennis' newest, game-changing tournament, here’s a little recap. Replacing the ATP Cup, the United Cup is unlike any other competition in the world, with 18 countries putting forward a team comprising up to four men and four women. The round-robin-style draw has seen singles and doubles matches taking place across Perth, Brisbane, and right here in Sydney.
And we’re not talking about any old matches. We’re talking about the world’s best players slugging it out on the court. Think 22-time Grand Slam champ and crowd fave Rafael Nadal repping Spain, Australia’s Nick Kyrgios and Ajla Tomljanovic for team green and gold, world number four Stefanos Tsitsipas and low key our fave, world number one Iga Swiatek of Poland.
Sydney’s Ken Rosewall Arena has been blessed with hosting duties for the finals. The three city champions and the next best performing team from the group stages will take to the court from Friday 6 to Sunday 8 January 2023 where they’ll battle it out for a share of the US$15 million prize pool.
But that’s not all. There are up to 500 Pepperstone ATP Rankings and 500 WTA Ranking points up for grabs for the champs—so the stakes are high.
Tickets won’t break the bank either, starting at just $40 for adults and $20 for kids 14 and under. Or bag a family pass (two adults and two children) for $100. That’s cheaper than a trip to the flicks.
Not a diehard tennis fan? The atmosphere alone will make you want to snag yourself a ticket. Plus, there'll be tasty pop-up food vendors and epic live entertainment in between the games to add even more good vibes to the day. If you’re looking for the event of the summer—the United Cup finals are it!
