That is just one of the issues that tennis legend Andy Roddick has raised about the future of the Laver Cup, saying on the latest edition of Served With Andy Roddick: “We’ve officially entered the weird part of the tennis season. I spent all weekend watching the Laver Cup, covering it on TC Live.
“I think what they’ve done with that event is great. There’s a couple of questions: Is it sustainable? Where do we go from here? How many times can you travel it around? New captains, saying goodbye to old captains.”
Team Europe get back to winning ways at the Laver Cup
Many will already be looking ahead to next year’s event, which will be hosted by San Francisco’s Chase Center.
New Team World captain Agassi will be among those keen to focus on the event, with the hosts needing to regain their title.
