Player selection edit

On 2 February 2023, Félix Auger-Aliassime was the first player to confirm his participation for Team World.[3] On 17 April 2023, Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe were the next players to announce their participation for this team,[4] as well as Nick Kyrgios on 24 April,[5] who however withdrew on 11 August.

On 20 April 2023, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Andrey Rublev and, on 25 April, Holger Rune were the first players confirmed for Team Europe.[6][7] On 14 June 2023, Casper Ruud announced that he would also join this team.[8]

On 23 August 2023, both teams announced their final line-ups. As their final picks, Team Europe captain Björn Borg chose Hubert Hurkacz and Gaël Monfils while Team World captain John McEnroe named Tommy Paul, Francisco Cerúndolo and Ben Shelton.[9] On 14 September 2023, it was announced that Milos Raonic would be joining Team World as an alternate.[10] Shortly before the start of the tournament, Rune and Tsitsipas withdrew due to injuries and were replaced by Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and Arthur Fils.[11][12]
