This tournament marked the retirement of 20-time singles major champion and former singles world No. 1, Roger Federer.[1] The former champion alongside longtime rival Rafael Nadal was narrowly defeated in the third-set super tiebreak against Jack Sock and Frances Tiafoe.[2]

Team World won the title for the first time.[3]

Player selection

On 3 February 2022, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer were the first players to confirm their participation for Team Europe.[4]

On 17 June 2022, Félix Auger-Aliassime, Taylor Fritz and Diego Schwartzman were the first players confirmed for Team World.[5] On 29 June 2022, Andy Murray announced he would make his Laver Cup debut for Team Europe.[6]

Novak Djokovic was announced as the fourth player for Team Europe on 22 July 2022, completing the Big Four lineup for the event.[7]

On 2 August 2022, organizers announced that Jack Sock would join Team World.[8] On 10 August 2022, Team Europe announced its final line-up with Stefanos Tsitsipas and Casper Ruud also taking part.[9] Team World captain John McEnroe chose John Isner and Alex de Minaur as his final picks on 25 August 2022.[10] However, Isner withdrew due to injury. As a result, he was replaced by Frances Tiafoe.[11]

Federer played his 1750th (singles and doubles combined) and last match on the ATP Tour in doubles partnering Nadal on Day 1, and was replaced by alternate Matteo Berrettini from Day 2.[12] Nadal also withdrew after Day 1; his place was taken by Cameron Norrie.[13]
