According to Tennis Talk with Cam Williams on Saturday, the 2021 ATP Cup has been cancelled due to coronavirus. The event was supposed to take place in Melbourne in early to mid-January, leading up to the 2021 Australian Open, the first major on the tennis calendar next year.

There have been 27,902 cases of coronavirus in Australia, and 908 deaths. Of the 27, 902 cases, there are 1399 active cases and 25, 595 people have recovered.

The ATP Cup debuted on the ATP Tour in January of 2020. It was won by Serbia, as they defeated Spain 2-1 in the final. The team tennis event is extremely similar to the Davis Cup, which has been around since 1900.

In the 2020 ATP Cup, Serbia was led by Novak Djokovic, the number one player in the world. The reigning Australian Open and Wimbledon champion, who is a 17-time grand slam singles champion, defeated Rafael Nadal 6-2, 7-6 in the premier match of the best of three final. Spain got their victory in the final from Roberto Bautista Agut, who defeated Serbia’s Dusan Lajovic, 7-5, 6-1. Then in the men’s doubles rubber match, Djokovic and Viktor Troicki defeated Pablo Carreno Busta and Feliciano Lopez 6-3, 6-4.

Djokovic has been known throughout his tennis career as a premier singles player. However, he has won one doubles tournament in his tennis career. That came at the Queen’s Club Championship in London in 2010. Djokovic teamed up with Jonathan Erlich of Israel. Djokovic and Erlich defeated Karol Beck of Slovakia and David Skoch of the Czech Republic 6-7, 6-2, 10-3 in the final.



When Serbia beat France for its only Davis Cup title ever in 2010, Djokovic played one doubles match. That was in the semifinals against the Czech Republic. Djokovic teamed up with Nenad Zimonjic, but the duo lost 3-6, 6-1, 6-4, 6-1 to Tomas Berdych and Radek Stepanek.
