The 2023 Laver Cup was the sixth edition of the Laver Cup, a men's tennis tournament between teams from Europe and the rest of the world. It was held on an indoor hard court at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Canada from 22 until 24 September.

Team World won their second consecutive title after winning the Laver Cup for the first time last year.[1]

In the 2023 Laver Cup, Team World achieved a dominant 13-2 victory over Team Europe.[2]

Player selection

[edit]

On 2 February 2023, Félix Auger-Aliassime was the first player to confirm his participation for Team World.[3] On 17 April 2023, Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe were the next players to announce their participation for this team,[4] as well as Nick Kyrgios on 24 April,[5] who however withdrew on 11 August.

On 20 April 2023, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Andrey Rublev and, on 25 April, Holger Rune were the first players confirmed for Team Europe.[6][7] On 14 June 2023, Casper Ruud announced that he would also join this team.[8]

On 23 August 2023, both teams announced their final line-ups. As their final picks, Team Europe captain Björn Borg chose Hubert Hurkacz and Gaël Monfils while Team World captain John McEnroe named Tommy Paul, Francisco Cerúndolo and Ben Shelton.[9] On 14 September 2023, it was announced that Milos Raonic would be joining Team World as an alternate.[10] Shortly before the start of the tournament, Rune and Tsitsipas withdrew due to injuries and were replaced by Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and Arthur Fils.[11][12]
