What is the Laver Cup and how does it work?
The Laver Cup runs from 23 September to 25 September for 2022 in London. It’s an indoor hard court tournament between Team Europe and Team World.
Now in its fifth year, the Laver Cup is being played at the O2 in London and it puts the six best European players up against the six best players from the rest of the world.
The Laver Cup consists of five sessions played over three days and the singles and doubles matches are both best of three sets. If there is a split set, the third set goes to a 10-point tie breaker.
The winning team needs to reach 13 points.
