Laver Cup 2023

The 2023 Laver Cup was the 6th edition of the competition with Team World going into the tournament as defending champions.

After Team World’s 13-8 win in the 2022 tournament in London, Team Europe was looking for revenge at the 2023 tournament in Vancouver.

The Laver Cup isn’t one of my favorite tennis tournaments as one of the things I love about tennis is that most fans support a player because they like their style and game, rather than because of the country or region of the world they come from, which is common in many other sports e.g. Badminton.

2023 Laver Cup Vancouver

The 2023 Laver Cup was played over three days from the 22nd to the 24th of September 2023, with the tournament being played at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Canada.

The first two days (Friday and Saturday) consisted of 1 day session and 1 night session, while on Sunday, there was only one session.

The 2023 tournament was played in the same week as the tennis tournaments in Guadalajara, Guangzhou, Zhuhai, Chengdu, and Parma.

NB: The 2024 tournament will be held in Berlin from the 20th to the 22nd of September 2024.

Schedule

The 2023 tournament was played over five sessions with the first two days of the competition having 1 day session and 1 night session.

The final day session was to consist of three singles matches and one doubles match but after team world won the doubles and clinched the 2023 title, the three singles matches were not played.

Players

The players for 2023 have now been confirmed with Casper Ruud, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Taylor Fritz, and Frances Tiafoe all playing in Vancouver.

The European Team has left out many top players including the top 2 in the world (Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic), Danill Medvedev, Jannik Sinner, and Alexander Zverev.

It is unclear whether these players had schedule conflicts or whether there were some other reasons why they weren’t included in the team.

2023 Teams

There are six players on each team for the 2023 tournament with each team having one alternate (Arthur Fils and Christopher Eubanks) in case a player has to pull out.
