Even though Borg and McEnroe will once again briefly become rivals at the Laver Cup, their emotional attitude is what connects them this year. “This whole week at the Laver Cup will be sorely missed in the future. Of course it’s exhausting, but at the same time it’s great,” McEnroe told Tennis Channel. “I feel great. It’s my last year, so I hope to go out with a big bang,” said the American.
“Emotionally, the week at the Laver Cup is the most special for me. It’s so much fun spending time with the best players in the world. We’re having a great week, but the problem is we have to win,” Borg said of his departure.
However, just like McEnroe, who believes in a successful future for the team competition, it is clear he will keep an eye on the new team captains from 2025: “Yannick Noah will be a great captain. He has a lot of experience and a great knowledge of tennis. I will continue to follow the Laver Cup and try to be there live as often as possible,” said Borg.
