Looking to the future
Borg and McEnroe’s time in charge may be over, but the future for the Laver Cup is bright. In Yannick Noah and Andre Agassi, Team Europe and Team World have two new captains to create new memories. And for Laver Cup Chairman Tony Godsick, the tournament has a significant role to play in the sport of tennis going forward.
“With this event, the platform literally is players are sitting on the bench with the Borgs and the McEnroes. They have Rod Laver here as well. This year we obviously had Boris Becker and Michael Stich and Steffi Graf. These players don’t get a chance to see them maybe ever again,” he explained.
“The Laver Cup will provide a meeting place each and every year for these types of players, which I think is important for the history, for the optics, for content. People want to see these interactions. So hopefully we’re bringing a little of that to the Tennis Channel.”
