^^So basically ATP can stop embarrassing themselves while Davis Cup is occurring where they've been acting like no tennis is taking place.

No, this is the re-imagined ATP Cup, but now it's the ATP/WTA Cup. Three cities, 18 countries, with qualifications based on the singles ranking, so basically the same format and logistics of the ATP Cup with minor tweaks to account for now including both tours. Prize money and rankings points also appear to be similar. ATP Cup is being shut down in favor of this event after it failed to catch on.

Hopman Cup, which was invite-only and featured only 8 countries and doesn't qualify for rankings points, is set to return in 2023. I don't understand why, but it'll take place in Nice, France on clay.

That kind of sounds like the team event that used to be staged in the lead up to the French Open.

Russians and Belarusians are not permitted to play in the 'United Cup' gimmick.
Presumably because it's a team, 'country vs. country' event...

No Russians or Belarusians at 'United Cup'...

ATP Finals affect rankings. Nov 21st rankings are the final ones used.

What does "16 countries locked in, two to be revealed" mean?

I'm not a fan of artificially created 'suspense'.

The 'Hopman Cup' is returning in 2023... sort of.
New time, new location (outside of Australia!).

If you ask me, tennis is oversaturating itself in its unceasing attempts to milk a buck everywhere.

Hopman Cup Returns - in... France!
