Player selection

On 24 August 2016, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal were the first of six players to confirm their participation for Team Europe. On 15 May 2017, more than eight months later, Milos Raonic was the first of six players to confirm his participation for Team World. By 24 August 2017, all six players from each team had been chosen: Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Alexander Zverev, Marin Čilić, Dominic Thiem, and Tomáš Berdych for Team Europe, and Milos Raonic, John Isner, Jack Sock, Sam Querrey, Juan Martín del Potro, and Denis Shapovalov for Team World. Shortly afterwards Raonic withdrew and was replaced by Nick Kyrgios. Later Frances Tiafoe took the place of del Potro who had also withdrawn.
Former rivals Björn Borg of Sweden and John McEnroe of the United States were serving as captains for the 2017 edition.
