 The
World Team Cup is the international team championship of the Association
of Tennis Professionals (ATP). The tournament has been contested annually
since 1978 and is considered to be second most prestigious men's team competition
in tennis after the Davis Cup.
Every year, the eight nations whose top two male players
have achieved the highest combined placings in the men's world rankings at
the end of the previous year are invited to compete for the cup.
The competition is played on clay courts in Düsseldorf,
Germany. The event is generally regarded as the sports highlight of the social

year and is televised to over 160 countries.
