Rafael Nadal will now team up with the former “King of Clay” in his final year as captain. Team Europe’s captain, Bjorn Borg, is strategically selecting his players for his final Laver Cup campaign. Furthermore, Nadal has unexpectedly agreed to play for Team Europe in the game’s seventh iteration after receiving Borg’s invitation to be the “captain pick.”
Rafa last participated in the event two years ago during the legendary doubles match that marked the end of the Swiss legend’s Tour career. Rafael Nadal is about to compete in his fourth Laver Cup of the season, and it reminds me of Borg’s desire to captain Nadal one final time from the previous year.
“In our sport, Rafael is a true icon. An authentic champion in every aspect of the term. As Captain, this is my final year. It was one of my goals to have him on Team Europe this year. For the tournament’s 2024 edition, Borg remarked, “And I’m thrilled he has accepted my invitation and will be with us in Berlin.”
