<\/p>\nThe ATP Cup draw has been revealed and it's set to be a challenging tournament for the Australians.<\/p>\n
Last year's champions Serbia, led by world No.1 Novak Djokovic, will look to defend their crown when the tournament gets underway on February 1 in Melbourne.<\/p>\n
For Australia, Alex de Minaur has once again been named to lead the side. He will be joined by fellow Aussies John Millman, John Peers and Luke Saville.<\/p>\n
De Minaur last year famously took Rafael Nadal to three sets in a thrilling match before Australia ultimately bowed to Spain in the semi-finals.<\/p>\n
With the Aussies set to face Spain in the round-robin stage this time around, along with Greece who have world No.6 Stefanos Tsitsipas leading the way, American tennis great Jim Courier believes it's set to be a difficult draw, especially for 21-year-old de Minaur.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"Alex will have his work cut out for him, but he will be up to the task," Jim Courier said.<\/p>\n
"He's got Rafa and Tsitsipas, that's a big challenge for him.<\/p>\n
"But Australia was so good with a very difficult draw last year. Maybe they will be able to pull off another upset.<\/p>\n
"There are so many great match-ups."<\/p>\n
