Laver Cup Team Europe Loses??

[citybert]

All the Laver Cup promotions is all about team europe on social media, youtube etc its like the other team doesnt exist. with the rosters it feels like the Globetrotters va the Generals. I think there could be real entertainment if Team Europe loses or if they fix it in a way that makes it close

Team Europe
Federer
Nadal
Berdman
Thiem
Cilic
Zverev

Team World
Sock
isner
Querrey
Shapavlov
Tiafoe
Kyrgios

i think they should have included seniors players like that indian tennis league they had... maybe it would have been more balanced since team world would have better old players than team europe.

 

[GrassCourtFan]

That is possibly the most unbalanced team competition I have ever seen.

If it's not fixed, Europe wins it easily.

 

[tennis_pro]

Well, Federer is more marketable than Isner.

You overrate the whole competition. All that is just as “entertaining” as cheering for a special team to win the IPTL.

Just watch Federer, Nadal and some other good players make a good show, and that’s it. Maybe we’ll se a Fedal double. Who cares about team results here?

I saw the interview with Fed, and it seemed to me all he cared about was playing doubles with Rafa and spending some time with Borg Goat.

 

[Bukmeikara]

It is a big cash grabber

 

[MasterZeb]

I reckon there's gonna be an element of t being fixed, especially with the teams to unbalanced and this being the inaugural tournament. Theyd want as much drama as possible to keep everyone intrigued until the final match in the final day.

 

[BorgCash]

Kinda more exhibition than sport tournament.

 

[MasturB]

Should definitely have had someone play Wilander or Becker in an exo.

 

[HuusHould]

Makes you realise how dominant the Europeans are on the tour, you look at that and think "surely we have more to choose from than that!!?" But with further thought, all the good players are from Europe, has anyone mentioned Del Potro?

He withdrew from the event, probably needs some rest

That's what i call a glorified exho. Silly event out of nowhere, just in order to make even more money.

Thought I heard Fed owns/has a stake in the event.

Wouldn't that then make it a big cash grabberer?

Cant blame him. Its Fedal and Borg thats the most interesting in this cup.

 

[ChaelAZ]

Exhibition...immensior.

 

[HuusHould]

That's a shame!

 

[citybert]

Somehow Verdasco sneaked onto the team

If that is the case Id want to see tweeners, trick shots etc and Monfils should be on it.

So basically you're saying we should treat it like Arthur Ashe kids day? Ok I can buy that.

 

[TennisaGoGo]

I propose a trade. We'll give you Querry and Sock (good doubles player) for Thiem and Cilic.
