The men’s tennis team competition, which began in 2017, is a European selection and a world selection other than Europe. Every year, the venue will be different, the last time it will be held in Boston, USA, and this time it will be O2 Arena in London, UK. Top tennis players, an individual sport, play as part of a team. Each team will have 6 members and will play 3 singles matches and 1 doubles match each day. For each match won, 1 point is added on the first day, 2 points on the second day, and 3 points on the final day, with the first team to score 13 points winning. One concept is that rivals become teammates, and the teamwork of each player is worth seeing. All the last four tournaments have been won by European teams.
