The sixth draw of the Laver Cup will be held in Vancouver, Canada, at the Rogers Arena. There will be plenty of notable absences if we just look at last year’s event: Roger Federer bid a tearful farewell to tennis, Rafael Nadal is still injured and nearing the end of his career, and Novak Djokovic was looking to clean himself up after winning the US Open.
