Laver Cup

The Laver Cup is a three-day international men's tennis competition pitting a team of six of the best players from Europe against six of their counterparts from the rest of the world. The event is held annually in September, two weeks after the US Open and alternates between Europe and the rest of the world cities. The Laver Cup was born from Roger Federer's simple heartfelt goal: to create an event to honor Rod Laver, the Australian tennis legend. Rod is the only man to win two calendar-year Grand Slams, and one of the greatest players of all time. The unique format of the tournament showcases tennis superstars competing on the same team, playing singles, pairing up in doubles and cheering each other on from the sidelines.
