Beating Europe to win the Laver Cup again

Without Novak Djokovic, Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer, the pillars of Europe, the Old Continent was enough to feast on the TD Garden in Boston, the home of the Celtics, and take back the Laver Cup (14-1 in total) against a team from the Rest of the World with very little crumb.

With the victory of the doubles formed by Andrey Rublev and Alexander Zverev over Reilly Opelka and Denis Shapovalov by 6-2, 6-7 (4) and 10-3 in the super tie-brek, the score reached 14-1 (wins were worth three points on the last day) and it all ended there. Europe sealed its fourth victory in the four editions that have been played so far with Medvedev, Tsitsipas, Zverev, Rublev, Berrettini and Ruud. Six top-ten. Too much imbalance. The team led by John McEnroe only claimed one point with the doubles formed by John Isner and Denis Shapovalov on the first day.

In the stands, the 'brain' of the competition, Roger Federer, attended the victory of Europe and also spoke about his knee injury that keeps him on crutches. “Getting back on the tennis court is going to take me a few months,” he admitted.. “There is no rush, now I am in a good position and the worst is over”, explained. The next edition, in 2022 in London, he hopes to have Federer … and with more equality.
