The Laver Cup Team Europe 2023 aspires to return the trophy to Europe. They learned their lesson last season when they lost the championship on the final day, and they should not rest no matter how big their lead is.

With Roger Federer’s retirement, Rafael Nadal’s injury, and the absence of Novak Djokovic, the team may not appear as formidable as in past years, but the youths who will represent Europe are well-versed in the best tennis in the world.

Laver Cup Team Europe Players 2023

Team Europe Captain: Bjorn Borg

The captain of Laver Cup Team Europe continues to make the Swedish Bjorn Borg. Losing the previous edition’s title was a devastating blow for the 11-time Grand Slam winner, who had grown accustomed to success after winning the first four tournaments.

Andrey Rublev

The 25-year-old rose to global No. 5 in 2021, and while he hasn’t risen in the rankings since then, he hasn’t fallen out of the top 10 either. He has 44 wins and 18 defeats this season and has won the Monte-Carlo and Bastad championships. Andrey Rublev will be called up for the second time to represent Laver Cup Team Europe 2023.

Casper Ruud

He came close to winning his first Grand Slam and becoming world number one last year, but his performance has improved little since losing to Carlos Alcaraz in the final of the US Open 2022. Only a few outstanding performances have kept him in the top ten of the ATP rankings. The Norwegian tennis player will be present for the third year in a row, this time in Vancouver.

Hubert Hurkacz

The Polish tennis player is a new addition to the Laver Cup Team Europe 2023. Despite what happened to him some time ago, he continues to put in strong efforts in an attempt to return to his greatest level. He had 33 victories this season and was crowned champion in Halle. He will undoubtedly be a valuable addition to the European team..

Alejandro Davidobich

The Spanish tennis player improved on his previous year’s poor performance. This season, he has 30 victories and 24 defeats, and despite the fact that he has yet to play in a final, he has scored a lot of points in key events. For the first time, he was ranked number 21 in the world, but he has yet to break into the top 20.

Arthur Fils

The young Frenchman has been one of the year’s biggest revelations, immediately establishing himself in the top 50. He has a lot of space for improvement at 19 years old, but he has already caused difficulties for more than one experienced player. Fils will be one of the riskier bets for the Laver Cup Team Europe 2023 to reclaim the trophy.

Gael Monfils

It is critical to maintain a balance between youth and experience, which is why Gael Monfils, who is only seven years old, is a member of the European team. Monfils’ injuries have prevented him from participating in several tournaments, although he has been very active in the last two months.
