The Hyundai Hopman Cup is happening at Burswood Dome from 30 December to 5 January 2007.

Australia will be represented by Alicia Molik and Mark Philippoussis, two of Australia’s most successful international players. They play similar styles with massive serves backed up by big forehands so will not be overpowered by the other teams. The Australian team has tasted representative success before – Alicia is the 2004 Olympic Games bronze medallist and Mark Philippoussis is the only Australian Player to win both the Davis Cup (twice) and the Hopman Cup. Alicia will be looking for a successful Hopman Cup to kick off the Australian Summer of Tennis, as occurred two years ago.

Tickets are on sale through Ticketek, and prices start at $24 for the first sessions, and $48 for the final.

UPDATE: Venus Williams will now not be coming to Perth, Fox Sports via PerthNorg.
