World number one Caroline Wozniacki has signed on for this summer's Hopman Cup mixed teams tournament in Perth.
Wozniacki, who has won 18 WTA titles but is yet to break through for a major, will join forces with Frederik Nielsen to represent Denmark for the December 31-January 7 event.
The teams for France, Spain and debutant Bulgaria were also announced on Tuesday, rounding out the eight-team field after Australia, China, United States and Czech Republic were previously confirmed.
France will be represented by world number 11 Marion Bartoli and world number 17 Richard Gasquet, who possesses arguably the most spectacular one-handed backhand in the men's game.
Three-times winner Spain will boast world number 24 Fernando Verdasco and world number 28 Anabel Medina Garrigues.
And Bulgaria, which will make its Hopman Cup debut, will rely on rising stars Tsvetana Pironkova and Grigor Dimitrov to cause some upsets.
Already announced were the Australian team of Jarmila Gajdosova and Lleyton Hewitt, China's Li Na and Wu Di, Czech Republic's Petra Kvitova and Tomas Berdych and United States' Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Mardy Fish.
