History
Up to and including 2012, the venue was the Burswood Dome at the Burswood Entertainment Complex.
The 2005/06 Hopman Cup was the first elite-level tennis tournament where the system was introduced allowing players to challenge point-ending line calls similar to that in clay court tournaments. The challenged calls are immediately reviewed on a large monitor using Hawk-Eye technology.
The XX Hopman Cup, in 2008, was to be the last to be held at the Burswood Dome, however this was extended until 2012, when the new Perth Arena was due for completion.
