Europe is way too strong right now that the Laver Cup is too one sided. I would have preferred the NHL All star way and have Federer and Nadal take turns picking a team and then going head to head.

It's always struck me as mildly weird though not worthy of comment. But when it's a 19 year old on the other end... yeah, no. Take that club out of your bag, sir.

Still awkward and potentially uncomfortable to the person he's doing it to. No matter how old they are, or who they are.

Milos is in Geneva, hopefully the body will last the weekend.

Roger Federer has more grand slam titles than everyone else participating in the Laver Cup combined: 20-19 hahaha

I think the World might be able to win the doubles match. Thiem hasn't been great the last couple of months so Shapo has a chance to pull off an upset, but the other two matches should be easy victories for Europe.

Shapo has forced a 10 point tie-breaker he breaks Thiem to take set 2 7-5 (Thiem took the opening set 6-4)

Darn it, Shapo had match point opportunities in the 10 point tie-breaker, but Thiem takes it 13-11

Teammate reactions are still my favourite part of this event. They look like dudes at a bar watching their squad play game 7 of the final.

Fognini is going to irritate players on both sides of the bench during this match.

Jack Sock looks like he's been following the Jake Virtanen diet and fitness regimen.

Umm...just thought I'd put this out there, but Aljaz Bedene just whacked down 27 aces en route to a straight set win over Pablo Carreno-Busta.
Even more ridiculous about those serving numbers is that this was a BO3 set match and their were no tiebreaks AND Bedene is not a huge server by any means.

Geez, the World could be up 2-love if Shapo could have closed out Thiem (had three match points).

I also think it's funny when a legend like Bjorn Borg is taking on ball boy duties as he handles the plastic wrapping from Greek Yogurt during a racquet switch.

Milos is fired up giving Fritz some encouragement during the changeover - Tsitsipas has gone off the boil in this 2nd set.
Edit: We need another 10 point match tie-breaker as Fritz takes set 2 6-1
Edit 2: Tsitsipas takes it 10-7 in the tie-breaker. Europe leads 2-1
