Team Europe captain Bjorn Borg lamented his team's tough loss at the Laver Cup.
The first four editions of the tournament, spearheaded by Roger Federer, were won by Team Europe, which typically entered the Laver Cup as the favorite. However, this time, with the absence of past tennis giants like Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, or Andy Murray
This time Team World secured the title for the second consecutive year with a commanding score of 13-2, without needing to play the last three points of the series and only conceding one of the nine matches played. The only player who cames with a victory was Casper Ruud over Tommy Paul by 7-6(6), 6-2.
Team Europe captain Bjorn Borg was surprised by the outstanding level of the opposing team and lamented his team's defeat, which included players such as Andrey Rublev, Casper Ruud, Gael Monfils and Hubert Hurkacz:
“It’s been a good week for us, practicing and getting together, the team spirit, everything. I mean, we gave 100%,” former world No. 1 said
“Of course we are all very disappointed, because we never expect to lose this score this much. What can you say? They played good tennis.”
“I think everybody played good tennis here,” Borg added. “We did. But unfortunately we did not win the key points, and we lose a lot of important points in the matches.”
“Could it have gone the other round, maybe it would be a different score. I’m happy with my team. I mean, I’m happy with these guys. They took a lot of responsibility to do what they have to do. They gave 100%, all these guys. It’s no complaints in that kind of way,” claimed Borg
“Sometimes you need to admit the opponent was a little bit better”
“One thing. We will definitely bring back the Cup. It’s going to stay in Europe next year,” Borg concluded.
