The roster for the Laver Cup 2021 has just been announced and fans are looking forward to the tournament. Even though no member of the ‘Big Three’ is present in Team Europe this year, Daniil Medvedev will lead the team’s charge. On the other hand, Nick Kyrgios will be guiding Team World which includes stars like Denis Shapovalov, Felix Auger-Aliassime, and others.

In a recent interview with the Tennis Channel, Andy Roddick talked about his expectations from the Laver Cup 2021. He stated that Team Europe has got a great team and most of his stars like Daniil Medvedev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, and Alexander Zverev are currently enjoying some great form on tour.

“It’s a different day but this roaster (Team Europe) looks so good, especially Medvedev playing great. We know how he moved on the hard court. Tsitsipas, Zverev, Rublev, Berrettini, Ruud. What I am wondering is that there’s not an obvious doubles team in this roster right. So, they are gonna mix and match,” said Roddick in the interview.

Even though Roddick lauded Team Europe’s roster, he believes that they might have a problem in deciding the doubles category. Since there are no players who have had played doubles in the past together, Roddick mentioned that the players might have to mix and match in order to form a good doubles team.

“Yeah, they can. I mean, the bottom row is like team serve out. You have guys who can take the racquets out of the hands of Team Europe. When you get into the neutral rallies, you have to favor Europe with their racquets skills… “
