VANCOUVER — The Laver Cup may lack the star power of its previous iterations with no Grand Slam or world champions taking the court at Rogers Arena, but tournament co-founder Roger Federer is convinced there will be quality tennis on display in Vanco
Last year's event featured Federer, Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal all representing Team Europe.
"The greatest players are still here," said Federer."Obviously everybody was asked to play and we want all the best to play, but it wasn't possible with schedules and all that stuff. I was a tough guy as well when it came to scheduling. I was very rigorous about which tournaments I could play." "It's obviously easier if it was in Vancouver every single year. By jumping, it becomes a little more tricky and I guess the question begs itself, 'one day is it easier to be three years in Vancouver and then three years in another place or destination?'
