Roger Federer and his team put on incredible event - Sock on Laver Cup
On Tuesday Jack Sock spoke about his feelings heading into the Laver Cup. The American player said: “The first two years were beyond everybody’s expectations, especially the first year when no-one really knew what to think going into it, but Roger (Federer) and his team put on an incredible event. This year I didn’t think it was possible with the surgery, and I wasn’t playing my best singles, but my doubles success the last two years helped me get a captain’s pick. I’m just grateful to be here. I’m really, really excited to see the guys.”
Sock added: “I think that’s what has given us a chance, the last two years. On paper we are the heavy, heavy underdogs but we’ve been a point, a couple of points, a match away the last two years. It doesn’t matter if you haven’t won a match in five years or you’ve won every match. I just thrive being out there; I love playing in front of a huge crowd.”
Denis Shapovalov said: “It’s definitely completely different from any event I’ve played. Having that bit of experience from Prague will help this time around. We don’t get to play on a team too often and especially with players from different countries. Two years ago, I loved the competition, so I’m excited to get started. The last time I was playing I was in really good form, really good shape in Prague and it was just a great time. I’m really excited to be in Geneva, it’s my first time here."
