The 2021 Laver Cup is scheduled between 24 to 26 September 2021 at the TD Garden in Boston and will return on the tour after a gap of a year since there was no competition held in 2020 due to the Pandemic. The Big-3 trio comprising of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic were the biggest stars in the previous editions but the trio was never part of the Team Europe together.

With fans hoping that maybe this year they would be able to see all 3 of them playing together but with Federer’s season ending due to his injury, the dream is shattered yet again. Novak and Rafa will also be not participating this year and this will be the first edition of the Laver Cup when neither of them will be playing.

While Team Europe is confirmed, Team World, captained by the legendary John McEnroe is yet to have their team sheet filled and so far only Canadians Denis Shapovalov, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Argentina’s Diego Schwartzman have been confirmed.
