Just one year after its resumption, the Hopman Cup is canceled again this season. But it should continue in 2025.

The end of the Hopman Cup in 2019, with Switzerland’s spectacular victory with Roger Federer and Belinda Bencic, was disappointing for many – especially since the ATP Cup designed instead was rather poorly received.
The news that the legendary mixed event would return in 2023 is all the better. However: no longer at the start of the year in Perth, Australia, but in the middle of the year, shortly after Wimbledon in Nice, France. Croatia’s victory against Switzerland was therefore lost in the busy tennis calendar.
It has now been announced that the Hopman Cup will take another break this year. “Given that both the Hopman Cup and the Olympic Games would be held in France this year, suspending the Hopman Cup until 2025 is a sensible decision,” said ITF President David Haggerty. “The players who had confirmed their participation this year have been informed. We look forward to seeing them on the Cote d’Azur next year.”
The Olympic tennis tournament is scheduled for July 27th to August 4th in Paris.
