What TV channel is the Laver Cup on? How to watch the final day of Roger Federer’s last tournament
The Laver Cup concludes in London today as Team Europe look to give Roger Federer victory in the last tournament of his career.
Federer has already said goodbye to tennis alongside Rafael Nadal after his emotional defeat in doubles on Friday.
But the 41-year-old has stayed on the sidelines to support his team-mates as the Europeans look to defend the Laver Cup against Team World.
Novak Djokovic has put the hosts in a dominant position after his singles and doubles wins on Saturday, with Europe needing two more wins this afternoon to clinch the title at the O2 Arena.
Here’s everything you need to know.
When is the Laver Cup?
The Laver Cup starts on Friday 23rd September and ends on Sunday 25th September.
Is the Laver Cup on TV?
The tournament will be broadcast on Eurosport in the UK. It will also be available to stream online on Discovery Plus.
Will Roger Federer still play a role?
As this is his last tournament, Federer decided to participate in the Laver Cup, but due to his injury problems and lack of games last year, he only competed on Friday.
Federer played alongside his longtime rival Rafael Nadal in Friday night’s doubles and was eventually defeated by Team World pair Jack Sock and Francis Tiafoe.
The rules stipulate that all players must play at least one singles game on either Friday or Saturday. After completing Friday’s doubles game, the 41-year-old was pulled out of the tournament and replaced by Matteo Berrettini, substitute for Team Europe.
How does the Laver Cup work?
Singles and doubles matches are played each day, with Friday matches counting one point, Saturday matches two and Sunday matches three.
Each player plays in at least one singles match during the first two days, but no player may play more than two singles matches during the three days.
At least four players on each team must play doubles, but no doubles combination can be used more than once.
Best of three sets will be played, but the third set is a 10-point match tiebreak if the first two sets are split.
The winning team is the first to reach 13 points. With 24 points available, a decider will be played in a 12-12 draw.
