Roger Federer wants to see Carlos Alcaraz at the 2022 Laver Cup
ATP
Carlos Alcaraz has been the breakout star of this year, and Roger Federer wants to see the Spaniard at the 2022 Laver Cup.
The Laver Cup is a unique competition that came to life a couple of years ago, mostly thanks to Federer, who was the loudest advocate for it. The Swiss Maestro essentially conceived the idea for the Laver Cup, wanting to give fans a unique spectacle.
He spent much of his career playing against some legendary players like Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, but rarely, if ever, did fans get a chance to see them play together.
The Laver Cup changed that as it allowed fierce rivals to play together. The competition has proven a huge success with both players and fans enjoying the unusual dynamic of it.
With Federer at the helm, the competition likely has a long future, but this year’s edition might just be the most iconic yet. It will be played from September 23rd to the 25th and it just might be one of the most exciting since its inception.
It will be held in London in the iconic O2 Arena, which hosted some of the most memorable ATP Finals competitions in the past. Federer and Nadal already signed up for the event, making it an iconic edition.
The tournament is still many months away, and quite a few big names will surely join. According to reports, Federer is very keen to get Alcaraz on board, even though time will tell whether he succeeds. .
According to Spanish publication MARCA, Federer and his TEAM8 management company want to see Alcaraz take part in the competition they founded.
Alcaraz is one of the most electric names in tennis after his tremendous breakout this year. He won the Rio Open, the Miami Open, the Barcelona Open, and the Madrid Open so far this year, becoming one of the best players on the ATP Tour.
If he now signed up for Team Europe alongside these legends, the event would be a major crowd magnet. There is always the chance that Novak Djokovic plays as well, which would make this edition even more exciting.

- IDK, it looks like to me that Raducanu should praise herself and her team for 'gaming the system' as in playing the points and ranking game. When you look at her season of wild cards, skipping tournaments (including the Paris Olympics!), retiring from losing matches and avoiding qualifying rounds, it seems like there was some plan to move up the ranks without actually playing a lot of tennis. And it worked! Congrats!RealityCheckers04-12-2024
