July 22, (THEWILL) – In a European dream squad for the Laver Cup in London, Novak Djokovic has confirmed he will play alongside Andy Murray, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer.
The four superstars have dominated the sport since the turn of the century, winning 66 Grand Slams between them, and have held the men’s year-end No. 1 ranking for 18 years running. Although only Djokovic and Nadal, barring injuries, are still at the top of their games, a reunion of the four men would be nothing short of fantastic.
The current Wimbledon champion, Djokovic, who last participated in the Laver Cup in 2018, said he enjoyed the opportunity to compete alongside his rivals rather than against them. He admitted: “I’m really excited to be joining Team Europe again for the Laver Cup at London’s O2 Arena in September.
“It’s the only competition where you can play in a team environment with guys that you’re normally competing against and to be joining Rafa, Roger and Andy – three of my biggest all-time rivals – it’s going to be a truly unique moment in the history of our sport.”
The Laver Cup, which pits six of Europe’s top athletes against six of the finest in the world over the course of three days, has been won by Team Europe in each of its previous four iterations.
Bjorn Borg, the captain of Europe, was also pleased to have four legends participate in the event and was optimistic about their chances.
