Mark Your Calendars: The Laver Cup Tennis Tournament Is Coming To… – North Shore News

Team Europe will take on Team World during the sixth edition of one of the best international tournaments in men’s tennis, and you can watch all the action live in BC

Vancouver has been selected to host sink cup 2023, one of the most prestigious tennis tournaments on the ATP Tour calendar. The Laver Cup pits six of the best men’s tennis players in Europe against six of their counterparts from the rest of the world during three days of intense team competition. This year’s lineup bodes well for an exciting tournament, packed with exciting matches.

The best tennis players in the world come to Vancouver

To date, the Laver Cup has recruited eight confirmed players from the top 35 list of the ATP Rankings. Casper Ruud, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Holger Rune and Andrey Rublev are already on Team Europe and the Team World lineup currently consists of Félix Auger-Aliassime, Taylor Fritz, Frances Tiafoe and Nick Kyrgios. Each team will recruit two additional players.

Rogers Arena will set the stage for some of the biggest names in tennis, both on the courts and in the coaching area. Former rivals Björn Borg (Sweden) and John McEnroe (USA) will reprise their respective roles as Team Europe and Team World captains.

Organizing the Laver Cup: a once in a lifetime opportunity

Every year, the Laver Cup takes place the second week after the US Open. The location rotates between host cities in Europe and the rest of the world. When selecting a host city, organizers target locations that do not typically host an ATP Tour event.

Therefore, it is highly unlikely that the Laver Cup will return to Vancouver anytime soon, making this tournament a must-see event for all Canadian tennis fans.

Laver Cup Scheduling Rules

The tournament schedule includes at least six singles matches and three doubles matches over the course of three days. Each player competes in at least one singles match during the first two days and no player may play singles more than twice during the three days. The value of each match won increases throughout the tournament: a win is worth one point on Friday, two points on Saturday, and three points on Sunday.

If no team has collectively reached thirteen points after Game 9 on Sunday, a Game 10 is played, which may be followed by Game 11 and Game 12. If the competition is level after twelve matches, a final doubles match is played in overtime as a regular set with ad scoring and a tiebreaker. In the event that only one match is required on Sunday, an exhibition match is played after the trophy ceremony.

Whether you’re a tennis fan or just looking for an extraordinary sporting event, this year’s Laver Cup promises excitement and excitement for everyone.
