> “I’m excited to be playing the Laver Cup again. It is an honor to be part of this team and to compete alongside so many great players.”

Bjorn Borg, who will soon hand over his captaincy role to Yannick Noah, wants a victorious farewell. He praised Tsitsipas and Ruud:

> “Casper and Stefanos are experienced Laver Cup players who know what it takes to win points. They have been part of some intense battles and have raised the Cup in the past. I am happy to have them on the team.”

Fans might think it’s exciting that such strong players are joining forces for Team Europe.

So far, Team Europe’s roster includes Alcaraz, Medvedev, Zverev, Nadal, Tsitsipas, and Ruud. On Team World’s side: Alex de Minaur, Taylor Fritz, Tommy Paul, and Ben Shelton are confirmed.
