The new Legends Team Cup as part of the ATP Champions Tour will begin in Croatia at Pula Arena from 1-3 August when the ancient amphitheatre becomes a tennis court for the first time in its long history. The format sees two teams of former stars play against each other over two tournaments hosted at exclusive destinations across the world. Ivan Lendl and Pat Cash will captain each team of five players. Former stars Lleyton Hewitt, David Ferrer, Juan-Carlos Ferrero, Tommy Haas and Radek Stepanek have been picked by Ivan Lendl, while Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Marcos Baghdatis, Tomas Berdych, David Nalbandian and Tommy Robredo have been selected by Pat Cash. Each tournament day will consist of two singles and one doubles match, with the team with the most points at the end of the three days being crowned the winners. The champions of the full Legends Team Cup series will be determined at the finals tournament in Dubai Harbour.
