Laver Cup Tennis starts at 1 PM EDT 9.24.21.

It's going to be tough for Team World going up against Team Europe, with 6 of the top players in the rankings. I wish Del Potro were healthy and in form; with that and Team World's doubles strength, we might have a chance. Team World got amazingly close last time they played, despite being vastly out-staffed.

But I think in future years, Federer and friends might need to come up with a different way to form teams so that it will be less predictable. Maybe move Russia to the World from Europe...
