Kygrios and McEnroe during Laver Cup
The Laver Cup is one of the most entertaining tournaments of the year. Players battle it out in separate teams to cap off the year. 2021 will be the fourth edition of the Team Europe vs Team World battle. Ahead of the highly anticipated tournament, both squads are being formed. After Team Europe recently announced their setup, Team World followed soon enough. Nick Kyrgios will be the star attraction once again, but that is not all.
This year, Boston will host the postponed Laver Cup-4. After taking a one year break due to the pandemic, the competition was rescheduled by a year. The legendary Bjorn Borg is the non-playing captain of the Europeans, while the fired up John McEnroe heads the World setup. On Wednesday, Team Europe declared the absence of the big-3 for the upcoming edition. Yet, the side possesses some absolute weapons at their disposal. This includes the likes of Stefanos Tsitsipas, Alexander Zverev and Matteo Berrettini, among others. And now, McEnroe’s army has been made official too.
