The 2021 Laver Cup will be the fourth edition of the Laver Cup, a men's tennis tournament between teams from Europe and the rest of the world. It will be 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 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 will reprise their roles as captains.[2]
Team Europe will attempt to win the title for a fourth consecutive edition.

On 28 February 2020, Roger Federer was originally the first player to confirm his participation for Team Europe,[3] but withdrew on 15 August 2021 due to a right knee injury.[4] On 24 November 2020, Dominic Thiem announced his participation,[5] but also withdrew on 18 August 2021 due to a wrist injury.[6] Matteo Berrettini announced he was joining Team Europe on 16 July 2021.[7] On 21 July 2021, Denis Shapovalov, Félix Auger-Aliassime and Diego Schwartzman were the first players confirmed for Team World.[8] On 13 August 2021, organizers announced that Olympic champion Alexander Zverev is joining Team Europe. The next day, Daniil Medvedev was also announced. Team Europe announced its final line-up on 18 August 2021.

Matches
Each match win on day 1 is worth one point, on day 2 two points, and on day 3 three points. The first team to 13 points will win.[11] Since four matches are played each day, there are 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.
