How to watch the 2022 Laver Cup, Roger Federer’s final tournament – NBC Sports

In one week, tennis legend Roger Federer will play in the last tournament of his decorated career.

On Thursday, Sept. 15, the 41-year-old announced he would be retiring after the Laver Cup, which begins next week.

While it would have been a sweet ending if the Swiss said his goodbyes at a Grand Slam as Serena Williams did at the U.S. Open this month, it turns out the Laver Cup holds a special place in the Swiss’ heart. In fact, Federer’s management team, TEAM8, was one of the partners to create the team event in 2017.

It’s actually quite apparent that Federer feels right at home at the event, as he holds seven records there and has been a part of the event every year except for 2021. 

The 2022 Laver Cup will pit Team Europe, led by tennis legend Bjorn Borg up against Team World, with captain John McEnroe in a three-day team tournament, something the tennis world does not see often.

Because it will be Federer’s last time competing in a professional tennis tournament and he will be surrounded by other icons of the sport, this is surely a moment you won’t want to miss.
