The ATP and Tennis Australia today officially unveiled the ATP Cup - a new team competition to kickstart the men’s tennis season from 2020. The tournament will be played across three Australian cities over ten days in the lead up to the Australian Open and will feature teams from 24 countries.

The format of the ATP Cup will see nations split into six groups, with eight teams emerging from the round-robin stage to compete in the knockout phase until only one team is left standing. There will be up to five players in each team, with ties comprising two singles matches and one doubles match. The criteria for entry into the ATP Cup will be based off the ATP Ranking of the No. 1 singles player from each country.

So by those rules we can compete if Grigor Dimitrov wants, even though there is no one else in a decent ranking.

A couple of more years and we'll go to those kids sets like in the Next Gen Finals where it's about winning 4 (?) games..

it's sad for us as fans , but i think ATP players are satisfied with this decision , hopefully this Next GEN tournaments' system will be applied only for this tournament  i can't see any modernization in it like they try to make
