The former world number one ranked tennis player had some unusual travel as he currently made his way to the U.S. West Coast. Well, this year’s Laver Cup is yet to come; for next year’s tournament, the event has found a home, and the 8th edition, co-created by none other than Federer, will be held in San Francisco at the home of the National Basketball Association’s Golden State Warriors.

After revealing the venue for the 2025 event, in a news release, the 20-time Grand Slam champion revealed his take on the same. He stated, “Bay Area fans will love the way the Laver Cup brings together the world’s top players as teammates. They will get to see them putting aside their rivalries and sitting courtside together, cheering each other on. This doesn’t exist anywhere else.” 

Further, he also highlighted how Bay Area fans would love to watch the top players leave their rivalries behind the event just to come together and play as a team. Nevertheless, while it’s quite early for next year’s event, the venue itself will add charm to the tournament.
