With the lineup Team Europe has formed, it seems that they will be continuing their title-winning streak at the Laver Cup. The Big 4 members i.e, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray were already announced as a part of the team a couple of weeks ago.
Now it has been announced that Casper Rudd and Stefanos Tsitsipas would be joining their team as well. The team is a mix of young and experienced players and that is what makes this team the one to defeat. Rudd would be playing in the Laver Cup for the second time after he made his cup debut in Boston last year.

Stefanos also holds a stellar record in the tournament and is yet to lose a single match since he made his debut. This is the first time wherein Team Europe will have the Big 4 members playing together in the same team.
And most importantly, fans have been anticipating the comeback of Roger Federer, since he has been resting due to an injury incurred by him during Wimbledon 2021.
When will the Laver Cup be held?
The Laver Cup is slated to start on the 23rd of September and will go on till the 25th of September. The matches in the cup will be held in the O2 Arena, London.
The cup this year is expected to be a blockbuster event since the Big 4 will be playing together alongside Casper Rudd and Stefanos Tsitsipas for Team Europe.

It will be interesting to watch whether or not the domination of Team Europe will prevail again in the tournament or if will there be another team which wins the cup for the first time in the history of the tournament.
Last year Team Europe had a landslide 14-1 victory over Team World and it is expected that the domination of Europe continues. The winning team will take home 250,000 dollars as a cash prize for their victory. The highlight of the tournament is surely the return of Roger Federer.
