About the 2022 Laver Cup
The Laver Cup, conceived as tennis’ answer to golf’s Ryder Cup, has been around since 2017, and Federer has been part of Team Europe every year of the competition except for 2021. In fact, the idea of the tournament was, at least in part, Federer’s idea.
The 41-year-old Federer has not played since Wimbledon in 2021, but he announced in mid-September that “the Laver Cup next week in London will be my final ATP event.” Retiring after a 24-year professional career, Federer plans to continue to play tennis, he said, but not in Grand Slams or on the tour.
Federer is set to play on Sept. 23 in a doubles match in which he and Nadal will take on Jack Sock and Frances Tiafoe.
In this year’s event, Team Europe consists of Casper Ruud, Rafael Nadal, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Novak Djokovic, and Andy Murray, with Bjorn Borg serving as captain. Team World features Tiafoe, Sock, Taylor Fritz, Félix Auger-Aliassime, Diego Schwartzman, and Alex de Minaur with John McEnroe the team’s captain.
