Laver Cup: Will Federer play in London? “The decision will be made at the last moment”

Spectators at London’s O2 Arena are preparing for an unforgettable 2022 Laver Cup. Before their eyes, they will see the European team line up the “Big 4” which has long dominated world tennis in the 2010s: Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray and… Roger Federer of course. The competition-exhibition will be all the more eventful as it should stage the last official racket shots of the Swiss legend who announced his retirement from sport at the end of next weekend (September 23-25). . But will the “Maestro” really be able to play?

A simple obligatory according to the rules, but it’s Federer…

Will Roger Federer be entitled to an exemption? It wouldn’t be surprising, since he was behind the creation of the event with his agent Tony Godsick. Especially since it is for him to say goodbye to the circuit and it would be surprising to see him deprive himself of such a poster shared with the Mallorcan. Unless the Basel simply does not feel able to line up, in which case he would be a kind of guest of honor who would be celebrated during the three days of competition. Response from Friday.
