For English in Canada, TSN is doing it:
TSN 5 is broadcasting the Laver Cup at 7:30am and 2pm, eastern time today.
Then on TSN 3 tomorrow, and TSN 2 on Sunday.
Interesting. I checked both TSN's website, and the Laver Cup website. TSN didn't have anything listed for the Laver Cup, and the Laver Cup website says the only broadcast for Canada is TVA, but it's listed on my cable guide.

But not on their tennis schedule.

And now the Laver Cup website has been updated - TSN must have decided last minute to add it to their schedule after Federer announced his retirement, and the big 4 decided they were all going to play the event.

Laver Cup teams have bloated to eight per side?

Why is Jack Sick on the team? Or at least, why Us he not restricted to doubles matches?

Ended up being an entertaining match.
I will go train at noon, in time to come back and watch Roger's farewell. I say Tiafoe and Sock have a better than average chance.

Competes with IW for title of slowest court on the planet...Nadal is clearly the leader of Team Europe...though Fed and Djoko are present ..I find that very interesting

WTF?

Protester sets fire to his arm during Laver Cup opening session - The Guardian

The opening session of this year’s Laver Cup in London was overshadowed when a protester set fire to his arm during the match between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Diego Schwartzman.

Tsitsipas clinched the first set by a 6-2 score and during the changeover at O2, a spectator ran on to the court and set his arm on fire.

The protestor was wearing a T-shirt which read “End UK Private Jets” and was quickly dragged out of the court after water had been poured on his burning arm. After a brief delay, the match, the second of day one, was able to resume.

It was 8 last year too. The main team plus alternates.

And today's first match is why Jack Sock is on the team and not just doubles. He's by far one of the best Laver Cup players for the World Team in their short history, no matter his ranking. He shows up every single time, which is truly what you're looking for in an exo.

For the Roger faithful, he's doing considerably more social media than he ever does, so check IG more regularly if you're interested. He just did a quick live on his way to today's practice and Nadal was with him. He never does this much stuff, but has been doing quite a bit this week.

Scroll for the Team World photo. There is obviously considerably less Team World coverage this year, there's regularly more Team Europe attention, but this year they aren't even pretending to make it anything approaching equal.
