Farewell to the captains: Laver Cup pays tribute to Borg and McEnroe

When the first Laver Cup was staged in 2017, the iconic figures of rivals-turned-friends Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe were one of the most eye-catching aspects of the brand-new team competition.

“To be able to look on the other side and see my greatest rival and great friend, Bjorn Borg, and have my brother as my right-hand man, it’s pretty hard to top that for me personally,” shared McEnroe in Berlin.

The seven tournaments since have provided countless highlights featuring the two legends of tennis, ending with the most dramatic of comeback wins for Team Europe on Sunday and a fifth triumph for Borg. For the players competing on the court, the Laver Cup has been a chance to get up close and personal with two of their idols.
