Western Australia is set for a bumper year of tennis in 2027, with Perth confirmed to host both the United Cup and the World Tennis Masters World Championships.
Together, the events will showcase Perth on the international stage and reinforce Western Australia's reputation as a premier destination for major sporting events.
Perth will once again launch Australia's Summer of Tennis at RAC Arena with the return of the United Cup from 1 January to 6 January.
The mixed-team tournament features many of the world's top men's and women's players, competing for their nations in a unique format that combines men's and women's singles with mixed doubles matches. United Cup hosted in Perth and Sydney will have top-ranked stars [7] Felix Auger-Aliassime and [16] Victoria Mboko for Team Canada, while Team Greece will be led by fan favourite [33] Tsitsipas and powerhouse [30] Sakkari, with more star players still to be revealed.
In previous years, Perth has hosted former world No. 1 players Naomi Osaka, Novak Djokovic, and Iga Swiatek, current world No.2 Alexander Zverev, US Open champion Coco Gauff, and many more.
Perth will host 33 matches in January, with participating countries and group matchups to be announced on Thursday, 12 November, and tickets on sale from today.
Perth will then host the World Tennis Masters World Championships for the first time in 2027, attracting senior tennis players from around the world to compete for their countries and individual honours.
The World Tennis Masters World Team Championships will take place from 1 April to 30 April 2027, followed by the World Tennis Masters World Individual Championships from 1 May to 8 May 2027.
The championships are among the world's premier masters tennis events and celebrate lifelong participation in sport, bringing together elite competitors across various age categories.
Both events are expected to drive out-of-state visitors to Western Australia, providing a boost to local businesses and supporting WA's visitor economy.
