Dominic Thiem confirms his presence at the next years’ Laver Cup that will be played in Boston. The entertaining competition had to be postponed this year because of the coronavirus as its spot was “occupied” by the renewed clay-court season.
In the US, Dominic is expected to join Roger Federer, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Alexander Zverev. All of them are supposedly playing next year for Team Europe that has won all the previous editions.
Thiem announced his participation on social media with the following message:
