The European team and the rest of the world are tied (4-4) after the first two singles of the second day of Laver Cup 2022historical because it will be remembered as the tournament where the great Roger Federer retired as a professional tennis player.
The two teams shared victories, both achieved in the tie-break super tie-break played instead of a third set: the Italian Matteo Berrettini first Canadian winner Felix Auger-Aliassime -7-6 (11), 4-6, 10-7- and the American Taylor Fritz was then imposed on the British Cameron Norrie by 6-1, 4-6 and 10-8.
Berrettini, after a first set of more than an hour and a quarter in which he needed six set points to take the lead, had to reach the supertiebreak and win it to score the first two points on Saturday.
The Laver Cup, which has always fallen to the European side in its first four editions, came in tied (2-2) on Saturday, after the final climax of the doubles match that Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer lost against Jack Sock and Frances Tiafoe.
Unlike Friday, when wins are worth one point, wins are worth two on Saturday and three on Sunday. Novak Djokovic and Frances Tiafoe meet at 8:00 pm in the third match of the day.
