After loss, McEnroe says Laver Cup should get more respect

BOSTON (AP) — John McEnroe wishes the Laver Cup could get more attention and thinks it’s a mistake that the ATP Tour schedules regular tennis 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. The first team to get 13 points wins. Tokyo Olympics singles gold medalist Alexander Zverev of Germany and Andrey Rublev of Russia beat Reilly Opelka of the U.S. and Denis Shapovalov of Canada 6-2, 6-7 (4), 10-3 in a match tiebreaker in doubles to open Sunday’s play.
