PREVIEW/Schedule Laver Cup day one: Fils takes on Shelton in blockbuster opener
ATPFriday, 22 September 2023 at 21:06
The schedule for the first day of the much-awaited Laver Cup
2023 has been announced.
The competition is unique in nature where two teams with the
name of Europe and the World takes on each other.
The 2023 edition of the competition is set to begin on Friday
and the schedule has been announced.
The first match will be between France’s Arthur Fils and America’s
young sensation Ben Shelton. It will be the first meeting between the two.
The second match will be between Spain’s Alejandro
Davidovich Fokina and Argentina’s Francisco Cerundolo. It will be the first
time when these two will come face to face.
The third singles match in the day will be between French
veteran tennis star Gael Monfils and Canada’s Felix Auger Aliassime.
The two have faced off once before where the 37-year-old
came out on top with a score of 6-2, 6-4 back in February 2020.
The fourth and final match of the day will be a doubles
contest where Russia’s Andrey Rublev will partner with Fils and will take on
America’s duo of Tommy Paul and Frances Tiafoe.
In the past five editions, team Europe has been the dominant
force as they won on four occasions. It was only the last year when Team World
came out on top.

- Iga needs to make a decision whether she wants to continue the sport of tennis or pursue whatever she has going on in her personal life. One can tell that tennis is no longer an interest of hers. She should retire while she is on top, not when she slides to the bottom of the rankings. She has too much talent to look how she does on the court these days. She looks more like a wild card than a champion.crissy09-09-2026
- Looks like tennis has become a part of the American Oligarchy. As usual, Pegula is given a cupcake draw. With all her money, they have to fixed the draws in her favor in order to raised the trophy.crissy09-09-2026
- Huge win for Ben! He needed this. Amazing that Alcaraz took over four months off and still was able to make the QF’s and take Ben to a fifth set tie break! Insane tennis. Tiafoe vs. Shelton should be a good one too. Americans might finally get their US Open Champion after 23 years!DaveyWavey09-09-2026
- No one else would get away with this but these AMERCANS! It’s the US Open!! In America!! But sure, go off American ;)DaveyWavey08-09-2026
- WOW !!! Her comebacks have been intense. She's Baaaaack!
mandoist08-09-2026 - Don't lay this shitshow on "Americans". It is a long-running Ego trip with WTA allowing these two Elitists 'in need of a Camera' illicit Wildcards. If these two clowns want to "perform" -- then play the qualies.mandoist08-09-2026
- Here we go again…. Different rules for Americans! Especially THESE Americans. Yuck!DaveyWavey07-09-2026
- It almost feels like they’re on their own “Legacy Tour” by playing these events … but losing each one! No press = $$$ fineDaveyWavey07-09-2026
- Love to listen to Mirra. However, I'm worried about her eyesight if she thinks oversized lips is "pretty".mandoist06-09-2026
- One of the most amazing comebacks in a long, long time. It happens (and Keys shouldn't lose her crackers over this). If Madison starts playing Dress-up and walking out on court like some fantasy character with a Mental Problem... then she should really start worrying!mandoist06-09-2026
