Tennis icon Roger Federer has revealed the doubles partnership that he would love to see feature for Team Europe at the sixth annual Laver Cup. Taking place at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Canada, the tournament is a highlight in the tennis calendar which sees a number of famous faces take to the hard court in a three-day spectacle.
This year’s event sees another star-studded lineup of players for both Team Europe and Team World. Names including Gael Monfils, Frances Tiafoe and Ben Shelton are among the top-seeded stars appearing this year.
The tournament involves all players featuring in a mixture of singles and doubles matches, usually involving some never-before-seen partnerships. And this year it’s Andrey Rublev and Hubert Hurkacz who are the unlikely pairing catching Federer’s attention.
The pair have faced each other before on four occasions, with two wins apiece, but could now play alongside each other much to Federer’s delight.
