"I'd literally have to sell my house" - Tennis fans shocked by exorbitant Laver Cup prices following Federer's retirement announcement

One last chance for fans to see Roger Federer play live has created a big buzz for the 2022 Laver Cup, scheduled for this weekend in London.

Adding to that is the prospect of seeing the Swiss great play alongside his 'Big 4' colleagues, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray, on the same team for the first and last time.

The Laver Cup ticket is set to be the most in-demand tennis ticket this month soon after Federer's retirement announcement last week. However, a recent revelation of some of the prices for the 2022 Laver Cup tickets has left tennis fans shocked.

In a post on Twitter, journalist Jon Wertheim shared some of the listings for tickets for the event to be held at the O2 Arena in London. Single ticket prices range from £26,000 to as high as £45,000, according to Wertheim's post.

Tennis fans were taken aback by such exorbitant prices, and while many expressed their sheer disbelief, others had some humorous takes on the ticket prices.

"For this price I hope Rafa brings you to your place in his arms," one fan tweeted.

"I'd literally have to sell my house lmao" - opined another fan.

"I’ll be enjoying LC from the comfort of…my stringing machine at work in the tennis shop. And that’s fine by me," another fan said on the same topic.

"These prices can't possibly be real"" exclaimed yet another fan.
