  • It’s only its second year but Laver Cup is already creating some fun new traditions like the team-mate introductions made by the players during opening night.

    Last year at the inaugural Laver Cup in Prague, Alexander Zverev gave us this gem where he recounted the first time he met Roger Federer, when he was just five years old.

    This year in Chicago, the 1.7m Diego Schwartzman stole the show when he introduced his fellow Team World member John Isner to the stage by describing the 2.08m American as his “twin”.

    Tournament debutant Novak Djokovic introduced his team-mate Federer by saying: “I am the player that I am today because of him. We played some thrilling matches over the last decade. Please give him a big hand: Roger Federer”.
