The Laver Cup is an annual competition named after Rod Laver, one of the greatest players in history, who won 11 Grand Slam singles titles during his career. This Friday, September 23, 2022, the 5th edition will begin. This competition is a clash between European players and players from the rest of the world (like the Ryder Cup of golf) that takes place at the O2 Arena in London.
The tournament lasts for 3 days (Friday, September 23 to Sunday, September 25, 2022), with 3 singles matches and one doubles match per day. So far, Europe has won the first four editions.
Roger Federer has confirmed that he does not feel fit to play the singles matches and it is better for him to play only the doubles.
