Laver Cup begins host city bidding process for 2023-2026

The organizers of Laver Cup have announced that they are launching the host city bidding process for the 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 editions of the event, which has fast become a welcome staple on the ATP calendar.

The inaugural edition took place in 2017, with the team tennis event inspired by golf's Ryder Cup. It is named in honor of tennis legend Rod Laver, the only man to win two calendar-year Grand Slams. Hosted over three days, the competition features six top players from Europe competing against their counterparts from the rest of the world. Team Europe is captained by Bjorn Borg, whereas Team World is led by John McEnroe.
