A new tennis tournament and hopefully tradition will be set up in September. Laver Cup will be held in Prague, the Czech Republic from Friday 24th September till Sunday 26th September 2017.

The trophy for winner and tournament get their name after Rod Laver, the phenomenal tennis player from Australia, who won 11 Grand Slam singles titles from 1960 till 1969. In the year 1969, he won all four grand slam tournaments.

This year, the tournament will be hosted by O2 Arena in Prague, the Czech Republic, next year we will see players in the United States.

Every day we will see 3 singles and 1 doubles matches. Every match will be played on 2 winning sets, but in the case of split sets, tie-break to 10 points will be played. Each team will be awarded points for every won match. 1 point for Friday’s matches, 2 points for Saturday’s matches, 3 points for Sunday’s matches.

Teams were set by captains, with last two names announced today. The only really surprising name is Denis Shapovalov, young Canadian, currently in 143rd place in ATP Ranking. I personally expected Nick Kyrgios from Australia, but who knows how the decision of John McEnroe was made.
