"Team Europe favourites with Medvedev, Tsitispas and Zverev" says Roger Federer

Roger Federer always enjoyed his time at the Laver Cup with the Swiss ace bringing some decisive victories to Team Europe in the past editions. For Zverev the European team are clear favourites this year as well with players such as Zverev and Medvedev:

"I think Team Europe will be again the favourites, and I think having Sascha Zverev as Olympic champion and Daniil Medvedev as the US Open champion on the team, it’s going to be really good for us, especially for the singles."

He further said:

"I think doubles indoors - anything is possible, to be honest. I think it’s going to be close in the doubles. In the singles, we have a slight edge, but they have a lot of young players on Team World, so I think a lot will be possible for them."

Federer also admitted feeling bitter about having to miss the event as he had a wonderful time every time he took part in previously:

"I’m going to miss it because I had a wonderful time in Geneva, Prague and Chicago, but I've already been in touch with Thomas Enqvist, the coach of Team Europe, and I will also definitely call Bjorn and John [McEnroe] and make sure everything is okay. And obviously, I’ll be in touch with the team and I'll be watching a lot of the matches. It’s going to be long tennis days in front of the TV, so I’m really excited that it’s Laver Cup time again."
