By Bhargav Modified 23 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share The Laver Cup is named after Australian tennis legend Rod Laver. The Laver Cup is an annual team competition in tennis played between Team Europe and Team World on an indoor hardcourt to honor the legacy of living legend Rod Laver. It is played on the second weekend following the US Open, hosted alternately by a European and 'rest of the world' city. Tennis' equivalent of golf's Ryder Cup - which pits Team USA against Team Europe - the Laver Cup was first played in 2017 in Prague. Laver Cup@LaverCupReady? Play.#LaverCup1452129Ready?

Laver Cup format
Laver Cup 2022 - Day One It's a three-day event played across five sessions over three days (Friday to Sunday). Each day comprises three singles and one doubles match, with each set played in a best-of-three format with ad scoring. However, instead of a deciding set, a supertiebreak - first to ten points - is played to determine the winner. No player is allowed to play more than two singles, and four of the six players in the two teams must play doubles. There has to be a unique doubles combination on all three sets unless there's a need for a decider on the third day - when the scores are level at 12-all (more on that later). The first team to reach 13 points becomes the winner. Due to the unique point allocation system at the Laver Cup, there is at least one match that's guaranteed to be played on the third day. That's because each win on the first day is worth one point, while on the second and third days, the point allocation per win increases to two and three respectively. What that means is that even if a team wins their first eight matches across the first two days - which hasn't happened yet across the four previous editions - they will only reach 12 points and will need one more point to win the competition.

History of the Laver Cup
Team Europe have won the trophy four times to date. The Laver Cup is the brainchild of the retiring Roger Federer - who's playing the last tournament of his illustrious career in the competition's ongoing fifth edition in London. In 2017, Federer approached Brazilian businessman and former Davis Cup player Jorge Paulo Lemann and Tennis Australia to start tennis' equivalent of golf's Ryder Cup. The first edition was played at Prague's O2 arena in 2017. The second edition was played in Chicago's United Center in 2018, while the third was staged at Geneva's Palexpo in 2019. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was no Laver Cup in 2020. The competition's fourth edition was played last year at Boston's TD Garden.
