Andy Murray to play Laver Cup with Nadal and Federer for first time in career
ATP
The 2022 Laver Cup has already got some big names participating in it, with Andy Murray now the latest to join the growing list.
With London's O2 Arena playing host to the trans-continental weekend tournament, Team Europe Captain Bjorn Borg has been busy assembling his troops to take on the rest of the world.
The entry list for this year's tournament was already jam-packed with stars, but names such as Roger Federer and Andy Murray are the latest to join in what should be a tennis festival.
It is the first time that the Scot will play in the tournament set up in honor of Rod Laver, and his participation now means fans are just praying that all-time great Novak Djokovic will soon add his name to the list in order to complete the perfect 'Big 4' line-up.
“I’m looking forward to playing the Laver Cup in London. I love playing as part of a team and there is a great atmosphere and intensity to the event. I’ve heard lots of good things and I’m excited to be teaming up with both Roger and Rafa for Team Europe.”
It really is not one to miss for any tennis fan worldwide. With growing questions around the future of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, considering their age and injuries, fans and pundits are speculating over whether this could be the Swiss' last form of competition.
Therefore, the participation of three of the Big Four means that it will certainly be a real treat for anyone going to watch this September.
With limited chances to see a team event such as this, the Laver Cup poses a different edge to the traditional tennis format. It has often been praised by players such as Nick Kyrgios as a chance for a different way of playing rather than competing on one's own.
