The 2021 Laver Cup was the fourth edition of the Laver Cup, a men's tennis tournament between teams from Europe and the rest of the world. It was held on indoor hard courts at the TD Garden in Boston, United States from 24 until 26 September.

It was originally scheduled for September 2020, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic to avoid overlapping with the 2020 French Open, which was rescheduled for 20 September to 4 October.[1]

Team Europe captain Björn Borg and Team World captain John McEnroe reprised their roles from 2019.[2]

Team Europe won the title for a fourth consecutive edition.

Player selection

Roger Federer was originally the first player to confirm his participation for Team Europe on 28 February 2020,[3] but withdrew on 15 August 2021 due to a right knee injury.[4] However, he still attended the tournament to great fanfare.[5] Rafael Nadal also opted out due to a foot injury and Novak Djokovic opted out due to his busy schedule, having played the Olympics and US Open.[6] Dominic Thiem announced his participation on 24 November 2020,[7] but withdrew on 18 August 2021 due to a wrist injury.[8] On 16 July 2021, Matteo Berrettini announced he was joining Team Europe.[9] Five days later, Denis Shapovalov, Félix Auger-Aliassime and Diego Schwartzman were the first players confirmed for Team World.[10] On 13 August 2021, organizers announced that Olympic champion Alexander Zverev would join Team Europe. The next day, Daniil Medvedev was also announced. Team Europe then announced its final line-up on 18 August 2021 with Stefanos Tsitsipas, Andrey Rublev and Casper Ruud also taking part.[11] Team World captain John McEnroe chose Reilly Opelka, John Isner and Nick Kyrgios as his final picks the following day.[12]

Matches

Each match win on day 1 was worth one point, on day 2 two points and on day 3 three points. The first team to 13 points won.[13] Since four matches were played each day, there were a total of 24 points available. However, since 12 of the total points are earned on day 3, neither team could win prior to the final day of play.
