Laver Cup: Tickets On Sale February 24

“The Laver Cup is the most exciting new tournament we’ve seen in tennis for a very long time,” Roger Federer said, as he announced tickets go on sale this Friday, 24 February.

“I’m super excited about teaming up with some of my greatest rivals, like Rafa and Tomas. We’ve never had the chance to really sit on the sidelines and cheer each other on, and play doubles together, rather than facing each other on opposite sides of the net.

“This will be a very different experience for the players and the fans, and it’s great we are playing the first Laver Cup here in the beautiful city of Prague,” Federer continued.

Berdych spent the day acting as tour guide for Federer, joining him for a spectacular tennis match onboard a cruise boat traveling down the iconic Vltava River, showcasing the historic Charles Bridge, before meeting the Mayor of Prague Adriana Krnáčová and fans in the beautiful Old Town Square.

“I know from experience how tough Roger is as an opponent, and personally will make it a mission to qualify for Laver Cup so we can be on the same team. I can only imagine how much fun it would be to compete on the same team as he and Rafa.

“It’s even more special to have the first Laver Cup here in my home city of Prague. I’m not biased at all when I say we have the best tennis fans in the world here and this tournament is like a gift for them. I know they’ll come out in force to cheer for their favourite players.”
