Rafael Nadal Joins Strong Lineup for Laver Cup: Roger Federer’s Big Moves Pay Off

Roger Federer makes big moves to promote the Laver Cup. After the announcements of the participation of Carlos Alcaraz – a first for him –, Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Zverev in this 7th edition of the exhibition competition organized by the Swiss and his agent Tony Godsick in Berlin from September 22 to 24, Team Europe will be able to count on strong reinforcement in the person of Rafael Nadal. The Mallorcan will play the event for the 4th time after 2017, 2019 and 2022 when he shared a doubles with his ex-rival for the latter’s official farewell to tennis.

“I am very happy to play the Laver Cup in Berlin for Team Europe. I really have special memories from my previous experiences in the Laver Cup, including all the emotions experienced in London two years ago when I played in the alongside Roger for the last time At this stage of my career, I really want to make the most of every opportunity that I’m given, it’s always an incredible experience and I’ve always loved doing it. The competition is different and exciting,” Rafael Nadal said in a statement.

Björn Borg, captain of the European team, will therefore be able to count on a choice cast after a less flashy 2023 edition – Andrey Rublev and Casper Ruud were then his leaders. As for Team World (selection of the rest of the world) of John McEnroe, Alex de Minaur, Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul have already been selected. They were among the winners last year in Vancouver. After Team Europe won the first four editions, Team World remains on two victories.
