Small surprise in 2022, the “World” won the trophy for the first time. In 2023, it is Canadahas Vancouverthat the competition will take place where Roger Federer said goodbye last year. If the teams have been finalized for a month, the time has come to choose replacements. He might not have expected it, but at just 19 years old, Arthur Soncaught the eye of Roger Federer and of Björn Borgthe captain of the Team Europe. Indeed, the Habs have just been selected to be a replacement in the team of Gaël Monfils. Quite an experience, especially if he gets the chance to play.

Team Europe logically favorite
Like every year, the European players will start as favorites. Björn Borg will be able to count on very heavy Vancouver. Holger Rune (n°4), Casper Ruud (n°5), Stefanos Tsitsipas (n°7), Andrey Rublev (n°8), Hubert Hurkacz (n°17) and Gaël Monfils (163rd) will wear the blue tunic. The Frenchman, back in great shape in North America, will put on the show. On the men’s side of John McEnroe, there are also serious arguments. Team World will be led by the Americans Taylor Fritz (n°9) and Frances Tiafoe (n°10). Tommy Paul (No. 14) and Félix Auger-Aliassime (n°15) will serve as lieutenant to the two members of the top 10. Finally, Francisco Cerundolo (No. 20) and Ben Shelton (n°46) will try to surprise their European adversaries, and proudly defend the red tunic. Among this string of stars, Son will be the youngest and one of the lowest ranked (No. 44).
