Federer, Nadal to play doubles
Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal plan to play doubles together when the Laver Cup debuts in 2017. With a combined 31 major titles, Federer and Nadal have committed to the inaugural event, which is an attempt to create a tennis version of golf’s Ryder Cup. Named for Australian tennis great Rod Laver, the competition will pit a team of European players against a group from the rest of the world Sept. 22-24 in Prague. Former rivals Bjorn Borg (Europe) and John McEnroe (World) were announced Wednesday as captains.
