The whole tennis world is focused on only one thing at this moment and that is Laver Cup 2022. Here is everything you need to know about the last professional career tournament of Roger Federer.
The Laver Cup is the brainchild of Roger Federer. It is known as the Ryder Cup of Tennis since it pits Team World against Team Europe in a series of singles and doubles matches to determine the eventual victor.
The fifth iteration of the Laver Cup is being held in London’s O2 Arena, having started on the 23rd of September. This year is particularly noteworthy since Roger Federer, a 20-time grand slam winner will compete in it as his final competition before retiring. The fact that all four members of the Big 4 are playing for Team Europe for the first time further heightens the anticipation.
On the first day of the event, Federer teamed up with his long-time rival and friend, Rafael Nadal, and played a doubles match against Team Europe’s Jack Sock and Frances Tiafoe. In what was the last official ATP-sanctioned match for the Fed Express, he lost in a nail-biting match of three tight sets.
We still have two more days of exciting tennis left. Let us check out the schedule and livestream information of the 2022 Laver Cup so that you don’t miss anything.
