Roger Federer opens up on wish to lead Team Europe in the future

The sixth edition of the Laver Cup is slated to begin on September 22 in Vancouver as Team Europe looks to take revenge on Team World after last year’s loss. Roger Federer, who is expected to be present at the event, expressed his desire to captain Team Europe sometime in the future.

As reported by Laver Cup’s official website, he said, “I like being in the tennis sphere”.. “Maybe one day, I’ll be the Captain of the team. There’s no plans as of now, but I think that could be quite nice.“ Furthermore, he also professed his allegiance to Team Europe, saying, “There’s something in me that’s Team Europe.. I’m happy if World wins, don’t get me wrong — but somehow, I can feel it deep inside, I want Europe to win.” The team is currently captained by the legendary Bjorn Borg.
