Dominant women's world number one Serena Williams may be returning for the 2016 Hopman Cup, but controversial Australian Nick Kyrgios is likely to be the one tennis fans line up to see.
World number 30, Kyrgios, will lead Australia Green into the 26th Hopman Cup in Perth in   January.
He doesn't have a partner yet, as organisers work through details with a couple of potential candidates. 
And despite having gained attention on court for all the wrong reasons recently, tournament director Paul Kilderry is confident that he will contest the unique mixed-teams event in the right spirit.
"I don't condone [his recent behaviour], but I am sure he has learned a lot this year," Kilderry said at the official event launch on Wednesday.
"It's been a whirlwind of a year for him. I know how exciting his tennis is and I know he is going to put on a great show at the Hopman Cup.
"He's polarising, but he's an amazing player. I think he will attract a crowd and it gets people talking about tennis and, what I do know is, he is working really hard to better himself and I am confident he will put on a great show."
"He's a huge name in tennis now, he's talked about all over the world - he's one of the young generation into social media and the different things and I think a lot of people will want to watch him play.
"He's one player I love to watch play tennis and when he's at his best he can do anything, as he has shown.
"We can control some things, we can't control everything, but we want the players to come here and play in the spirit of the event and have a great time and put on a great show for the people of Perth."
Kilderry said that on-court expectations were not discussed when contracts were struck. 
Kyrgios has been in the spotlight for a number of on-court controversies, the latest a meltdown in a tournament in Shanghai that resulted in a Twitter war with Adelaide Crows AFL captain Taylor Walker, who called the tennis star a "dead set flog".
Todd Woodbridge, MC at the event launch, said he thought the Hopman Cup was a good fit for the troubled tennis player.
He said that having three guaranteed pool matches took away the pressure of losing in a traditional tournament and being bundled out.
He said it's a great way for the 20 year old to start his preparation for the year's first grand slam tournament, the Australian Open.
Kyrgios is one of eight players making his Hopman Cup debut next having pulled out this year due to injury.
He will play in singles group matches against Great Britain's Andy Murray, France's Gael Monfils and another young up and comer, Germany's Alexander Zverev.
West Australian Casey Dellacqua has already committed to playing with Lleyton Hewitt for Australia Gold, a second host team - the first time the initiative has been used.
The Hopman Cup field boasts 11 current top 40 players and three grand slam singles champions - Williams, Murray and Hewitt.
