Laver Cup

The 2022 Laver Cup will go down in history as the last time the Big Four will play together at the same tournament as Team Europe take on Team World.

The Australian enjoyed his best season to date this year, reaching the Wimbledon final and winning the Australian Open in doubles and would have been a considerable test for any of Team Europe, which contains five top-10 players (if Federer’s protected ranking of nine is taken into account). Captains can pick and choose who to use on days 2 and 3, with all players playing at least one singles game and at least four different players from each team competing in doubles. Roger Federer, who [announced his retirement ](https://en.as.com/other_sports/federer-on-bowing-out-i-totally-overachieved-in-my-mind-n/)from the ATP Tour last week, was one of the driving forces behind the Laver Cup, [which was inaugurated in 2017 ](https://en.as.com/other_sports/laver-cup-what-is-it-how-does-it-work-atp-points-and-format-n/)as an annual tournament pitting the best players from Europe against the rest of the world over three days. Team World came close to upsetting the odds in 2019 in Geneva, assuming an 11-7 lead on the final day before Federer beat John Isner and Zverev saw off Milos Raonic to lead Team Europe to victory. Federer will only play doubles and it remains to be seen if Nadal will compete in singles. [The 2022 Laver Cup](https://en.as.com/other_sports/laver-cup-where-is-it-played-dates-times-tv-and-where-to-watch-the-tennis-live-online-n/) will be an historic occasion, marking the final time the “Big Four” of modern tennis will be seen together in a competitive environment.

Even if you’re in the advantage, you know that every match is going to be a battle and that anything can happen.” “I haven’t been able to play on a team as much as I would like. Nadal is a two-time finalist in that event; Federer, Djokovic and Murray have all captured the crown. “The O2 has seen a lot of tennis the last 10 years. “It’s going to be unique – this has never happened and will probably never happen again,” he says. “Every time the challenge is more [and] I hope that I will be ready for it.”

Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic had a three-way rivalry that made each of them better — and was awfully fun to watch.

Sure, without all three of you in the mix, maybe one of you alone would hold all 63 Grand Slam titles. People can argue back and forth why any one of you is the greatest of all time. My prediction and hope is that the whole world will be watching with me. We are all blessed to have watched all of you play against each other. And, this weekend, I will be rooting for all three of them. (Ironically, that's the same number of Grand Slams that Pete Sampras won, before the Big Three came on the scene and obliterated his reign as the GOAT.) It's not the Olympics. [I referred to Pete Sampras](https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1291513) as the best tennis player that ever lived. We will never have the chance to see him play another Grand Slam again. It's not the NBA championship. It is a historic moment that any sports fan needs to watch. No, it's not the Super Bowl.

The decider will be a doubles match. In case of a 12-12 tie at the end of 24 matches, a fifth match (Decider) on Sunday is played to determine the winner. Every player has to compete in at least one singles match in the first two days and no player can complete in more than two singles match in the competition. In case of a tie, the third set will be a 10-point match tie-breaker. Both singles and doubles will be a best-of-three match with ad scoring.

Of course I will enjoy it, but it will be hard." "Of course it's super-special playing with Rafa," Federer said.
