Laver Cup 2021, Boston - Sept 24-26 2021

Do you think Roger play in Boston?

If his knee is good, he'll play.  But I imagine Roger will be there whether he can play or not.

Berrettini, Roger and Thiem represent team Europe

Yeah, I saw Berrettini was just added.  Thiem committed months ago, but now with his wrist issue (he's still in a splint), it's suspect.  If he's healthy, he'll play.  Hopefully he will be.  Hopefully he and Roger both will be.

Diego Schwartzman, Denis Shapovalov and Felix Auger Aliassime line up for Team World at Laver Cup Boston

Olympic Gold medalist and 3x Team Europe champion Sascha Zverev
confirmed

Daniil Medvedev, ATP 2, confirmed his participation

Thiem just tweeted this picture four days ago. So, hopefully, he will be OK in a month.  

"Swapping the splint for my racket again" D. Thiem - Aug 10 2021

The lineup looks good for the Laver Cup. Thiem, Medvedev, and Zverev are quite good choices. Wonder if ND will play for the World, world beater that he is.
 Zverev and Thiem better get going.....step up, I say.

No Roger, No Dominic!  

“I’m really disappointed to be missing this year’s Laver Cup. Team Europe has an incredible line-up though and I wish them all the very best as they go for their fourth Laver Cup win.” Roger Federer

This is the first Laver Cup without Roger, Nadal or Djokovic. But this is a young and powerful Europe team, with five of the top 10 players and all under 25!:

EUROPE
2. Medvedev
3. Tsitsipas
5. Zverev
7. Rublev
8. Berrettini
11. Ruud

Thiem twitted today that he had a setback in his recovery. His wrist didn't fare well during his return to practice and he is now back to wearing a splint. He also announced that he wouldn't be able to defend his US Open title and that he will miss the rest of the 2021 season!

Team World: Schwartzman - Shapovalov- Auger Aliassime- Opelka -Isner- Kyrgios

That's a good team too... The battle is on!

Does anyone know if it will still be Borg and MacEnroe as coaches? Thank you!

From what I read, they both continue as captains.
