Raonic set for potential return home to Canada, confirmed as Laver Cup alternate

Canada’s tennis star Milos Raonic will join the Team World as an alternate player for the upcoming Laver Cup 2023.

The 32-year-old was not part of the original team announced for the mega-event but has now been included.

While talking after being selected, Raonic expressed excitement after becoming a part of a talented group of players.

“I’m excited to be selected as part of Team World again,” said Raonic. “I look forward to doing anything I can to help Team World win and repeat their Impressive feat like last year.

"It will also be very special for me to be in Vancouver again after so many years. The Canadian fans are amazing and being there with Team World will be an incredible experience and moment for me.”

The tournament will be organised from September 22 to 24 in Vancouver.

Laver Cup remains a unique competition as it is played between two teams — Team Europe and Team World.

The competition began back in 2017 as Team Europe started their dominance and won the first four editions.

Last year, Team World finally managed to register their first triumph as they emerged victorious with a score of 13-8.
