On September 26, Beijing time, the 2022 Professional Tennis Federation event Laval Cup officially ended in London, England. In the end, the world team generally not favored before the game defeated the European team led by the Big Three and won the Laver Cup for the first time in history. There is no doubt that the 2022 Laver Cup is the most special significance since the establishment of the event. Federer retired, and the three giants were in the same team, etc. A series of pictures ignited the attention of the world's audience. However, the final result of the game seemed a bit unsatisfactory. Except for Federer and Nadal and Nadal, who lost the game, missed the last cooperation with a victory. Djokovic also lost the game in an upset, which directly led to the European team losing the championship.
This year's Laval Cup, the European team is composed of Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, Murray , etc., and also includes world-class players such as Beretini, Titsipas . The world team includes Schwarzman , Aliasim, Sok , Isner and Deminal. In terms of card strength, the European team is full of stars, and is undoubtedly the biggest favorite to win the championship. In the history of the Laver Cup, they have never let the championship fall. Some netizens said that there is no Grand Slam men's singles champion player in the world team, and the European team has won 63 Grand Slams in just the Big Three, and there is no suspense in the game.
Some fans also pointed out that the Laval Cup needs to be compared with singles and doubles, and it is a three-set and two-win match system. There is a clear difference from the four Grand Slam events, and the European team is not absolutely sure to achieve the title defense. On the first match day, the finale was a doubles composed by Federer and Nadal. Their opponents were Sok of the world team and Tiafou. Unfortunately, the Fener combination wasted a match point and was defeated by his opponent and failed to win the game. After the game, both Federer and Nadal burst into tears. The World Team and the European Team tied in the score.
Then, the two teams went back and forth, and the scores rose alternately. Former world No. 1 Djokovicti swept Tiafo in a key singles battle to help European teams expand their score further. In addition to singles, Djokovic also joined forces with Italian Beretini to win the men's doubles. Since Nadal chose to withdraw after participating in the men's doubles, the competitiveness of European teams in singles events has been greatly reduced. Veteran Murray was affected by injuries and was basically unable to finish the game.
Some fans joked about this, "Murray is with the Big Three, and the screen is full of embarrassment!" On the last game day, the situation of the European team was very good, but they didn't want Djokovic and Tsitsipas to lose. Djokovic accidentally lost to Canadian star Alyasim in another men's singles match, which shocked the outside world. As the European team was reversed one after another in several singles, the "Ugly Duckling" World Team finally secured the victory 13-8, beating the European team for the first time since its founding in 2017 to win the championship.
