Roger Federer arrived in Boston to support Team Europe in the Laver cup against Team World and also to promote the competition which he in his own admission loves.
Roger Federer loves the Laver Cup and he was one of the players that was part of the competition even from the idea stages. The Swiss ace arrived in Boston to promote the competition as well as support his Team Europe. Upon arrival he said:
"To me, legacy is really important, that we remember it in tennis because we have a really rich history. Rod Laver was a hero to a lot of us, especially Bjorn and to John [McEnroe]. To me, he is a big legend who was able to win the Grand Slam two times and he was also the one who went from amateur sport to professional.
Federer further said:
“That is where the idea came in with Tony [Godsick] and myself once on a ride in Shanghai. That we could do something for the legacy of the game and incorporate all the young ones coming through and learn from the best like John and Bjorn, having rivals become teammates. The first three editions have been wonderful.”
Federer will stay in Boston until the competition concludes and he will be cheering for Team Europe from the first row of the stands.
