Federer shared his thoughts about the prospect of captaining Team Europe at the Laver Cup and said: “Yes, I mean, why not? One day. I don’t think right away, but I am absolutely open to the thought and the idea of having great captains, assistant captains, or co-captains, whatever you want to call it.”
