Five months before the sixth edition of the Laver Cup, which will be held in Vancouver, Nick Kyrgios has been added to the list of players who will be present in Canada.
Little by little, the list of players who will compete in the Laver Cup from September 22 to 24 in Vancouver, Canada is starting to form. Five months before the sixth edition of this competition created by Roger Federer’s agent on the model of the Ryder Cup in golf, we know six of the twelve players who will compete under the red colors of the World or the blue colors of the ‘Europe.
Last year, in London, during a fifth edition marked by the moving farewell of Roger Federer, the World team won for the very first time, and in 2023, the Canadian Auger-Aliassime, the Americans Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe and Australia’s Nick Kyrgios (along with two other players to be determined) will attempt to complete the double.
Kyrgios hasn’t played since October
In London, Kyrgios was absent, but the whimsical Australian (who will turn 28 on Thursday) will be there in Vancouver, even if we haven’t seen him on a court since his knee injury in Tokyo last October. “The fact that Team has finally won once is incredible. I’ve been on the team four times and we failed after being close so many times. The fact that we now know we can do this is something special. Hopefully I can’t change the mind too much, add some positive vibes and see if we can do it again,” reacted Kyrgios, out of Madrid this week but signed up for the Rome and Roland tournaments. Garros, even if his presence is not yet assured.
On the side of the European team, two players, and not the least, have already announced that they will be in Vancouver: Stefanos Tsitsipas (this will be his fourth appearance) and Andrey Rublev (second appearance). And they hope to restore victory to the Old Continent, before coming to Berlin for the 2025 edition.
