McEnroe: Laver Cup deserves more

John McEnroe wishes the Laver Cup could get more attention and thinks it’s a mistake that the ATP Tour schedules regular tournaments that conflict with the three-day exhibition event.

Captain Bjorn Borg’s Team Europe clinched its fourth consecutive Laver Cup on Sunday by taking an insurmountable 14-1 lead over McEnroe’s Team World.

“This is my personal opinion, but I don’t think there should be any tournaments going on if they want to try to get to the level of a Ryder Cup, say. It’s got to stand on its own,” McEnroe said, referring to a team golf event that also was held this weekend. “It’s not going to be like, ‘Well, other players need to be able to play and ... get their points at the (event) in Kazakhstan or wherever they are right now.’ I just don’t agree with that. I think it’s a mistake by the ATP.”
