Who’s playing the 2023 Laver Cup?
There will be no member of the ‘Big Four’ at the Laver Cup for only the time since its inception.
Casper Ruud, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Andrey Rublev and debutant Holger Rune will be leading Team Europe as they aim to win back the trophy.
Hubert Hurkacz and veteran Gael Monfils are also on the team.
Carlos Alcaraz is not included and is yet to play in the Laver Cup.
There’s a strong American presence in Team World with Taylor Fritz, Frances Tiafoe, Tommy Paul and Ben Shelton in the line-up.
Felix Auger-Aliassime and Francisco Cerundolo are also in the team.
Although Federer won’t be playing the Laver Cup, he will be at the tournament, which he co-founded, across all three days and will flip the coin for the last match on Friday evening.
What is the 2023 Laver Cup schedule?
All three of the days are scheduled to have three singles matches and one doubles match.
The final day could be shorter as the last matches will only be played if needed to decide the result.
Play will start at 9pm UK time on Friday and Saturday, and 8pm on Sunday.
- Day 1: 2 x singles in day session, 1 x singles and 1 x doubles in night session
- Day 2: 2 x singles in day session, 1 x singles and 1 x doubles in night session
- Day 3: 1 x doubles, followed by 3 x singles (if needed)
The order of play for each day will be released closer to the event.

How does the format work?
There will be three singles matches and a doubles match on each of the days. On Day 1, a victory is worth one point, on Day 2 a win is worth two points and on Day 3, three points. The goal is to reach 13 points overall to become the champions.
Each match is best-of-three sets, although the deciding set will be a 10-point tie-breaker.
Every player will take part once or twice in the singles matches, with at least four of the six playing in the doubles.
