The final line-ups for the Laver Cup were announced on Tuesday in New York. Team Europe was already made up of five amazing players - Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, Grigor Dimitrov, Alexander Zverev and David Goffin - now the sixth and last player has been known: it's the Brit Kyle Edmund, who reached his maiden Grand Slam semi-final earlier this year at the Australian Open. 'This is an extraordinary opportunity and I can’t wait to join all these great players in Team Europe at the Laver Cup in Chicago. It’s a huge honor,' Edmund said through a statement. 'Tennis is such an individual sport so it’s always very special to have the chance to play as part of a team. I watched the Laver Cup on TV last year and the atmosphere in Prague was amazing. I’m really looking forward to going to Chicago for the first time as well. I’ve heard they love their sport there, and although we are technically not the ‘home’ team, I’m sure we’ll get a lot of support.' For Team World, America's Jack Sock, who just won five matches this year, joins Juan Martin del Potro, John Isner, Kevin Anderson, Nick Kyrgios and Diego Schwartzman. The captain John McEnroe is excited to have Sock in the team.

I wasn't competing, I had an elbow injury that kept me away from the tour but the Laver Cup looked really, really good. "It's a new concept, a new format, a new competition, it's very refreshing. It resembles the Ryder Cup in golf and carries the name of a living legend. It's phenomenal and it's a great pleasure to be part of it. 0:35 John McEnroe is looking forward to captaining Team World John McEnroe is looking forward to captaining Team World The former world No 1 will team up with Roger Federer along with Kyle Edmund, Alexander Zverev, Grigor Dimitrov and David Goffin.

"Life on the tour is different, you don't get to mix up too much with your biggest rivals for obvious reasons, but Laver Cup is a competition that unites us all. "It was really unusual and very nice (last year) to see all the players backing and supporting the player that was performing on the court every single day. "Friendships were formed and friendships were stronger after that competition and so I am really looking forward to that."

Bjorn Borg is looking forward to the Laver Cup this year. The 11-time Grand Slam winner didn't attend the event to announce the final line-ups on Tuesday in New York, but he still wanted to give a statement to comment on Kyle Edmund addition for Team Europe. 'I’m delighted to welcome Kyle to Team Europe as my final captain’s pick,' said Borg, European team captain for the second year in a row. 'Kyle is an outstanding young player who’s achieved some great results and big wins over top players. I’m also impressed with his meticulous and methodical approach to the sport and believe he will be a great fit with the team.' Borg believes the team, led by Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, has high chances of winning and defending its title. 'Team Europe will be a force to be reckoned with in Chicago and we plan to mount a strong defense of our title,' said Borg, who enjoyed last year's edition in Prague. 'It’s an extraordinarily strong team, with Roger and his 20 Grand Slam titles, and Novak, with his 13 – it is very exciting. Roger and Novak have shared a rivalry over so many years so it will be remarkable to see them come together in the same team and work together for the win. Roger and Novak are both incredible leaders in our sport and I expect them to inspire all the members of Team Europe in Chicago, it will be very special.'
