Frances Tiafoe led Team World to their first Laver Cup title as the American saved four match points in a dramatic victory over Stefanos Tsitsipas that denied Roger Federer a farewell trophy on Sunday.

That was enough to give John McEnroe's Team World a 13-8 overall margin of victory with a match to spare, sealing their maiden triumph in the competition after Team Europe won the first four editions.
More than 19 years after winning his first Grand Slam title at Wimbledon in 2003, which set him on the road to being acclaimed as the greatest player of all time, Roger Federer in the early hours of Saturday bade farewell to tennis. He was unable to finish with a victory, losing his doubles match for Team Europe at the Laver Cup alongside long-time rival Rafael Nadal.
Federer's body couldn't outrun the clock, but he had the time to make a statement of talent, class, substance & styleRoger Federer can toy with time - even in a highway chase, where the difference is in microseconds. The roll of the wrist, the flick of a racket. Pausing only to tease. When he winds up his shot there's some to spare. Federer doesn't advance, he apparates like those wizards in a Harry Potter-sequence, appearing magically to put racket to ball. Knees bent then straightening into an upright stance as he caresses a backhand that cuts. He was the miracle.
