The Laver Cup is an international indoor hard court men's team tennis tournament between Team Europe and Team World, the latter of which is composed of players from all other continents except Europe. Usually held annually since 2017,{{Cite news|url=https://lavercup.com/news/2018/07/10/laver-cup-become-annual-event|title=Laver Cup to become an annual event|date=2018-07-10|work=Laver Cup}} the tournament is intended to be the Ryder Cup of the tennis world.{{Cite news|url=https://www.skysports.com/tennis/news/12110/11478980/laver-cup-is-our-ryder-cup-says-novak-djokovic|title=Laver Cup is our Ryder Cup, says Novak Djokovic|publisher=Sky Sports|access-date=2018-09-25}} It normally takes place two weeks after the US Open, with the location rotating between various host cities (that usually do not have an ATP Tour event); alternating yearly between European cities and cities in the rest of the world.{{Cite web|title=How Laver Cup Works|url=https://lavercup.com/how-it-works|access-date=2021-09-23|website=Laver Cup}}

In addition to the guaranteed participation fees which are based upon the players' ATP rankings, each member of the winning team receives $250,000 in prize money, but the tournament itself does not count towards the players' point totals in the ATP Tour for that year.{{Cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/21/sports/tennis/laver-cup-team-world.html?mcubz=0|title=In Laver Cup's Debut, Europe Towers Over the World|work=New York Times|date=2017-09-21}}{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/24/sports/tennis/laver-cup-roger-federer-rafael-nadal.html|title=A Promising Debut for the Laver Cup, Buoyed by Two Timeless Stars|last=Clarey|first=Christopher|date=2017-09-24|work=The New York Times|access-date=2017-09-27|issn=0362-4331}} In May 2019, the Laver Cup became an officially sanctioned ATP Tour event,{{Cite web|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-tennis-atp-laver/tennis-laver-cup-becomes-official-atp-event-idUSKCN1SU0MS|title=Tennis: Laver Cup becomes official ATP event|work=Reuters|date=2019-05-24}} and the Laver Cup and the ATP renewed their agreement in 2024.{{cite web|url=https://www.atptour.com/en/news/laver-cup-atp-extend-partnership |title=Laver Cup & ATP announce five-year extension to partnership | ATP Tour | Tennis }}

Matches during the Laver Cup tournament differ from conventional 3-set matches played on the ATP Tour; in the event when the match is tied at one set all, a 10-point “match tiebreak” is played instead of a deciding final set (this is to ensure that all matches conclude within a reasonable timeframe of approximately two hours, whilst enabling four matches to be completed within a match day – that begins either at 1 pm local time for Days 1 and 2, or at 12 noon local time for the final Day 3 of the tournament).{{Cite web |last=Tignor |first=Steve |title=In Laver Cup, and now ATP Cup, the super-tiebreaker is having its day |url=https://www.tennis.com/news/articles/in-laver-cup-and-now-atp-cup-the-super-tiebreaker-is-having-its-day |access-date=2022-09-24 |website=Tennis.com |language=en}} In addition, unlike conventional ATP tour matches, coaching of match participants is commonly applied courtside by teammates and team captains.

Format

The competition pits six top European players against six of their counterparts from the rest of the world. Each team is led by a team captain, who is a tennis legend. Three of the six players qualify based on their ATP singles ranking as of the Monday following the French Open in June. Three are "captain's picks", announced by the start of the US Open, in August.

There are 12 matches played over three days (nine singles and three doubles). Each match victory on day 1 is worth one point, on day 2 two points, and on day 3 three points. The first team to claim 13 points wins the tournament. Therefore, the winning team can only be decided on day 3.

There are six singles matches on the first two days (3 each day) and all six team players plays one of those matches. No player plays singles more than twice. At least four of the six team members take part in doubles. So, one team player (doubles specialist) could play all three doubles matches with three other team players. All matches start as two sets, a 10-point “match tiebreak” is played if the match is level at one set all.

In the event both teams are tied at 12 points each, a fifth match known as “The Decider” is played on day 3, whereby one set is played as a regular set with ad scoring and a tiebreak.

In the event that only one match is required on Sunday (last previous occurrence was at the 2023 Laver Cup), an exhibition match is played following the trophy ceremony.

History

The tournament is named after Australian Rod Laver, a tennis player widely regarded as one of the greatest in the history of the sport (He won all four major titles in the same calendar year, winning the Grand Slam twice in singles, in 1962 and 1969; the latter remains the only time a man has done so in the Open Era.) Roger Federer's management company, TEAM8, Brazilian businessman Jorge Paulo Lemann, and Tennis Australia partnered to create the Laver Cup.{{Cite web|url=http://www.tennis.com/pro-game/2016/08/dynamic-doubles-duo-federer-nadal-to-team-up-in-laver-cup/60161/|title=Dynamic Doubles Duo: Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal to team up in inaugural Laver Cup|work=Tennis.com|date=2016-08-24}} Roger Federer was inspired to create a tennis team tournament based on the biennial Ryder Cup golf tournament, which features the best golfers from the United States playing against the best golfers from Europe.{{Cite web|url=http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/29/sports/tennis/in-spirit-of-ryder-cup-a-competition-to-honor-rod-laver.html|title=In Spirit Of Ryder Cup, A Competition To Honor Rod Laver|work=New York Times|date=2016-01-29}} However, Laver Cup differs as it is purely an invitational event based on past historical performances; selection of (and the playing agreement with) the tournament participants are not automatically based from the highest ranked players of the recent ATP Tour world rankings.

Former rivals Björn Borg of Sweden (Team Europe) and John McEnroe of the United States (Team World) were announced to serve as captains for at least the first three editions.{{Cite web|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/tennis/2017/09/19/laver-cup-roger-federer-rafael-nadal-playing-excited-should/|title=What is the Laver Cup, why are Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal playing and how excited should we be about it?|work=The Telegraph|date=2017-09-20}} After the 2019 edition, they announced that they will reprise their roles as team captains for a fourth straight edition.{{Cite news|url=https://lavercup.com/news/2019/09/22/borg-and-mcenroe-to-extend-laver-cup-rivalry|title=Borg and McEnroe to extend Laver Cup rivalry|website=Laver Cup|date=2019-09-22}}

The first edition was held in Prague from 22 to 24 September 2017, at the O2 Arena. Team Europe defeated Team World 15–9. Despite the 6 point score difference, this was a very tight battle from day 1. In the last match, Roger Federer defeated Nick Kyrgios 4–6, 7–6(8–6), [11–9] after coming back from 8–5 down in the final tiebreak, as well as saving a match point at 9–8.{{Cite web |date=2017-09-24 |title=Team Europe wins Laver Cup after epic Federer victory |url=https://lavercup.com/news/2017/09/24/team-europe-wins-laver-cup-epic-federer-victory |access-date=2023-09-28 |website=Laver Cup |language=en-US}}
