"I'm excited to be back at the Laver Cup for Team Europe, at London's o2 arena," Djokovic is quoted as saying . "It's the only competition where you can play in a team with guys you normally play against. And to play alongside Rafa, Roger and Andy - three of my biggest rivals of all time - will be a really unique moment in the history of ours be sports."

Team boss Björn Borg is of course also pleased about the reinforcement. "I don't think I could have imagined having these four icons of the sport together in one team. I know that they, like me, appreciate the importance of this moment and will fully embrace it. Our goal is to win every year and with Rafa, Roger, Andy and Novak in the team, I see our chances as good."
