The United States leads all nations in Hopman Cup titles, claiming its sixth crown in 2011; when Isner played for the team. This year he won titles at Auckland and Atlanta, and helped the U.S. Davis Cup team beat Slovakia 5-0 in September. Williams captured her 18th Grand Slam singles title at this year’s US Open and has won four Olympic gold medals, including one in singles and three in doubles with her sister Venus. She also holds 13 Grand Slam doubles titles and two mixed doubles titles. Williams has contributed to two American Hopman Cup championships during her career.

Bouchard, World No. 7, made Canadian tennis history this year at Wimbledon when she defeated World No. 3 Simona Halep to become the nation’s first women’s singles finalist. In 2014, the Czech Republic’s Safarova advanced to her first Grand Slam semifinal at Wimbledon before falling to fellow Czech and Fed Cup teammate Petra Kvitova.
