Young rivalry continues: Tsitsipas and Kyrgios to join Team Europe and Team World on Laver Cup

Kyrgios and Tsitsipas played against each other for the first time at a Washington tournament that Kyrgios won.

In the meanwhile, they started playing doubles together and today they will meet the best pair in the world, Cabal and Farah.

And as if it was not enough, both of them just confirmed their participation in the Laver Cup, where they will represent different teams.

“The Laver Cup is a unique and memorable event in tennis and I can’t wait to join Team Europe in Geneva,” Tsitsipas said for Lavercup.com

And Tsitsipas continued: “For me personally it’s like a dream come true to be part of this incredible team, with Roger and Rafa, who I’ve looked up to since I was a little kid, along with Dom, Sascha and Fabio.

“In tennis we are always out on the court alone, it’s such an individual sport. It’s going to be a new experience for me to play on a team, especially this team of unbelievable champions, and it will be an honor to join all these legends at the Laver Cup.”

Like Stefanos Tsitsipas, Nick Kyrgios is very enthusiastic about his participation in the Laver Cup and has also commented on his participation.

“I’ve always said that the Laver Cup is my favorite week of the year, and how much it means to me to get around the team and play for something bigger than just myself,” Kyrgios said.

“At the Laver Cup it’s not just about me, it’s about doing everything I can to help the other guys feel comfortable, prepare for their matches and even give them some energy from the side of the court, if that’s what needs to be done.

The Laver Cup will take place in Geneva on 20-22 September 2019.
