Three-time Major winner Andy Murray will join Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in representing Team Europe at the Laver Cup later this year.

This will be the first time that Murray will compete at the Laver Cup, an annual event between Team Europe and Team World.

“I’m looking forward to playing the Laver Cup in London,” Murray said. “I love playing as part of a team and there is a great atmosphere and intensity to the event. I’ve heard lots of good things and I’m excited to be teaming up with both Roger and Rafa for Team Europe.”

The news was welcome by Federer, who tweeted Murray’s announcement with the caption “Europe Avengers assemble #teameurope #London”. Federer is scheduled to make his long-awaited return to tennis at the Laver Cup. The Swiss has not played since Wimbledon in 2021 after which he underwent a knee surgery.
