Team World chases back-to-back Laver Cup triumphs
Can Team World back up its 2022 heroics in Vancouver? After notching a first Laver Cup triumph in London a year ago, Taylor Fritz from the United States and Canada’s own Felix Auger-Aliassime are among those hoping help seal back-to-back victories.
Bjorn Borg has plenty of Top 10 mettle within Team Europe, however, including Greek superstar Stefanos Tsitsipas and Andrey Rublev of Russia.
