What is the Laver Cup Players Cheat Food Favorite?
The Laver Cup “player services” department is ready to meet the needs of Team World and Team Europe players throughout the week. The most common meal request is custom pasta, stir fry and sushi. Team Europe tends to clamor for stir fry and sushi, while Team World has favored the pasta. But the cheat food favorite remains consistent across both teams: pizza.

When it comes to snacks, Team Europe this year has been requesting ice cream and fruit sorbet, while Team World has been dipping into the Haribo lollies plenty.

Players Filling Time on Match Day
Even for players not competing, a competition day at Laver Cup keeps them busy. When not practicing or playing, the athletes are typically fulfilling PR commitments or spending time with their team, limiting down time.
