Laver Cup to San Francisco in '25

[LeftyMagic]

my gripe w LC is everyone on the roster should play to give some variety. Or u should play a max of 2 times. i think shelton played 4 matches in two days…lets keep it moving.

San Francisco? They couldn't have picked a worse place if they wanted to be on the west coast.

Why not somewhere in South America. Isn't the idea to host between Europe and the world and try to bring high profile players to places that don't often get them, to help grow the sport?

It's all about the money now. The big cities are being targeted which doesn't have a big ATP tournament.
And except New York and Miami theres lot of American big cities out there not featuring in regular calendar.
Chicago, Boston and now San Francisco has been scheduled to get Laver Cup. The ones remaining are
Los Angeles - 2027 ?
Houston - No ATP biggie for 20 years now.
Atlanta - Has a small 250
New Orleans
Phoenix
Denver
Dallas -Austin
Etc.

In contrast most of the big European cities have ATP tournament. One missing is Amsterdam which should get LC soon.

Same for Asian ones. Tokyo, Beijing, Shanghai already has.

Mexico City should also get LC some year.
Among Asian ones I forgot two big and rich Asian cities still don't have big ATP viz.Singapore and Seoul.
They could get LC some year. After playing over there , players can go to Beijing or Tokyo for next tournament

Has LC become that exciting that we started talking next year's edition before this one was over?

Not LC but the location has become exciting

 

[Bartelby]

The Laver Cup should be held in Rockhampton.

Location is everything.

Okay, everyone's looking for a location with glitz, James Bond excitement, and TV money grabbing power?
HERE'S THE SOLUTION 〰️ All LC matches will be held on top of various N.Y. skyscrapers. All tennis players
will be taken by helicopter to the next building's match on a rotating schedule. Any hapless "dropouts" from the
hectic flight to the next match will be questioned, if possible, at street level by LC organizers. For diversification,
all player interviews will be held on N.Y. subway trains at rush hour, with free hotdogs for every hungry passenger.
The winning team will be given a luxurious penthouse, with N.Y. cheesecake delivered free, for every day of their life.
The losing team will be sent to an undisclosed south of the border hamlet, and taught the proper way to grow corn.
------ So Be It ⚜ ------ EDIT { Due to intense interest, any person asking a dumb question, might be the next "dropout."}
