Player selection

On 13 December 2018, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal were the first players to confirm their participation for Team Europe. During the 2019 Madrid Open, Stan Wawrinka expressed interest in participating in the event with Federer, but he will instead play at the St. Petersburg Open in Russia. On 14 June 2019, Dominic Thiem, Alexander Zverev and Fabio Fognini announced their participation for Team Europe. On 3 July 2019, Kevin Anderson, John Isner, Milos Raonic and Denis Shapovalov were announced for Team World. Stefanos Tsitsipas and Nick Kyrgios were both confirmed for the event on 13 August 2019. As his final picks, Team World captain John McEnroe chose Jack Sock and Taylor Fritz, with Fritz replacing the injured Anderson.
