John McEnroe’s Team World will be up against Bjorn Borg’s Team Europe in the 2022 Laver Cup which will be held at the O2 Arena in London between September 23 and 25.

The line-ups for this year’s Laver Cup are set after the announcement of American John Isner and Australian Alex de Minaur filling the remaining two spots in Team World on Thursday.

The 2022 Laver Cup will be played at the O2 Arena in London between September 23 and 25.

Team Europe, winner of all previous four editions, features the ‘Big Four’ - Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray - with Norway’s Casper Ruud and Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas being the other members. The squad will be led by Swedish legend Bjorn Borg.

Djokovic will make his first appearance at the event since the 2018 edition held in Chicago. The tournament will also have Federer returning to competitive tennis for the first time since his loss to Hubert Hurkacz in the 2021 Wimbledon quarterfinal.

Team World, led by John McEnroe, comprises Felix Auger-Aliassime (Canada), Taylor Fritz (USA), Diego Schwartzman (Argentina), Alex de Minaur (Australia), John Isner (USA) and Jack Sock (USA).

Laver Cup, held for the first time in Prague in 2017, is played on a black indoor court.
