At the end of the second day of competition at the 2022 Laver Cup, Team Europe is creating a significant advantage over Team World in terms of points. After the first day, each side had 2 wins to make the score 2-2, winning 3/4 matches helped Team Europe led by captain Bjorn Borg win 6 more points to lead the opponent 8-4.
According to the competition format at the Laver Cup, there will be 1 point for a win on the first day, 2 points on the second day and 3 points on the third day. Therefore, with a total of 12 points that could be won on the last day, Team World still has a chance to turn the tables. The team that reaches 13 points first will win the final.
According to the competition schedule, there will also be a change in the process on the third day. Accordingly, the doubles match will be pushed up as soon as possible. According to the arrangement, Matteo Berrettini will have his second consecutive doubles match for Team Europe, with Andy Murray playing alongside him in the match against Felix Auger-Aliassime and Jack Sock. This is also Sock's third consecutive double, the American tennis player is currently the player with the most matches in this year's tournament (3 matches).
Today's schedule will be quite tight for Auger-Aliassime, because after the doubles match, the Canadian tennis player will have a short break before entering the singles match with Novak Djokovic. If the World Team wins the doubles match, the pressure will be greatly reduced for Auger-Aliassime and vice versa.
There are two possibilities, or the World Team will narrow the gap to 7-8, or the gap will be 11-4, so that if Auger-Alliasime, the European Team will win the Laver Cup for the fifth consecutive time.
Also according to the schedule, the next singles matches will take place between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Frances Tiafoe, Casper Ruud will meet Taylor Fritz. These were difficult matches for the World Team, because their opponents were ranked higher on the ATP rankings.
