Roger Federer has officially launched the Laver Cup in Prague on Monday. The overall idea is to have the top 6 European players fighting the top players of the rest of the world. Roger was adamant to explain that the Laver Cup will not be an exhibition, but a proper contest with tough matches. The captain of the European side will be Bjorn Bjorg while John McEnroe will lead the rest of the world.
Not an exhibition. FEDERER
Roger explained his idea as follows
“The idea is to absolutely have a tough tournament, tough matches, the better man wins, that’s the idea of the Laver Cup, is not how the captains see it, that’s not how Rod Laver sees it. He wants us to represent our part of the world with pride and try our very best and also win for our teammates.”
Roger promoted the exhibition playing some rallies against Tomas Berdych on a boat cruising the Vltava river.
The contest is scheduled in Prague for Sept. 22-24, and it will be played at the O2 Arena.
