However, the chances are bleak but the possibility still exists. According to the points system, on the final and third day, winners of respective matches will receive three points.

Speaking about the Laver Cup, this was the first edition in which Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, or Novak Djokovic did not feature. However, the Swiss maestro surprised everyone by showing up on the opening day of the competition. We hope to see him recover soon and get back fully fit for the upcoming 2022 season.
