So the Laver Cup next year will be hosted by Geneva, Switzerland. But assuming that the event survives past that, which non-European city do you think should host it in 2020?
These are my personal thoughts:
- It obviously can't be played in the States again because Chicago is hosting it this time around
- It should be played in a city that does not normally host a significant ATP tournament
- It should be played in a country that is likely to have at least one member from Team World being a native of that country
- And it should be played in a part of the world that has a thirst for world-class tennis and considerable financial resources to back that up
So, my top 3 choices would be:
1) Buenos Aires, Argentina (Then Delpo might finally show up for Team World)
2) Sydney, Australia (Kyrgios is already the default leader of Team World so I think he would really relish playing this role in his home country. And Aussie fans would sure get behind him and the whole team I believe in this kind of format)
3) Seoul, South Korea (Assuming Chung Hyeon picks up his game in the next year or so, he would be a great hometown representative for Team World in Korea. Korean fans adore him and they would come out in droves to see him. And I think there's a bigger thirst for and interest in tennis in Korea than most people would assume)
