Rafael Nadal is out and Grigor Dimitrov is in for Team Europe.
Empowered by his run to the US Open quarterfinals, Dimitrov has been selected by captain Bjorn Borg to fill the Team Europe roster spot left vacant with Nadal’s withdrawal from Laver Cup.
The 2024 Laver Cup will be contested next weekend, September 20-22nd, in Berlin.

“I’m really disappointed to share that I won’t be able to compete at the Laver Cup in Berlin next week,” Nadal said in a statement. “This is a team competition and to really support Team Europe, I need to do what’s best for them and at this moment there are other players who can help the team deliver the win.
“I have so many great, emotional memories from playing Laver Cup and I was really looking forward to being with my teammates and with Bjorn in his final year as Captain. I wish Team Europe the very best of luck and will be cheering them on from afar.”
This is the final Laver Cup for Team Europe captain Borg and Team World captain John McEnroe, who named Francisco Cerundolo and Thanasi Kokkinakis to replace Alex de Minaur and Tommy Paul on his side.
