Hopman Cup 2013 will field the world No.1 ranked male player for the first time since 2003 when Novak Djokovic takes center stage at Perth Arena, December 19 – January 5.

Three-time Australian Open champion Djokovic will team up with former world No.1 Ana Ivanovic, representing Serbia for the second time in Hyundai Hopman Cup competition. The pair reached the final of the event in 2011 but were forced to cede their place to Belgium after Ivanovic withdrew with injury.

The Hyundai Hopman Cup is the official mixed teams competition of the ITF. Hopman Cup 2013 will be the twenty-fifth staging of the ITF Mixed Teams’ Championship, the first at the spectacular new Perth Arena, and will kick off the ITF’s one-hundredth anniversary.
