LONDON (AP) The men's tennis tour says its board has approved the return of the ATP World Team Cup in 2020.
The ATP said Sunday it still must finalize a contract with partner Tennis Australia for the event, which would be held at the beginning of the season.
The tournament would offer $15 million in prize money to 24 participating teams in 2020. It also would award ATP ranking points.
The ATP World Team Cup was held in Dusseldorf, Germany, from 1978 to 2012.
