Overview
- Tony Godsick, Laver Cup chairman and Roger Federer's longtime agent, told reporters in London that Federer will become a Laver Cup captain at some point though no appointment has been set.
- Federer attended the 2026 Laver Cup at The O2 as a spectator and remains the event's co‑founder and a regular behind‑the‑scenes contributor since play began in 2017.
- Godsick said Federer already acts and behaves like a captain in planning and advising organizers without formally intervening in current captains' decisions.
- Godsick stressed timing is unclear because Federer alternates between saying he is ready and saying he cannot commit long term given his four children and other priorities.
- The Laver Cup uses a flexible captaincy model that allows past captains such as Björn Borg or John McEnroe to return and would most likely see Federer lead Team Europe if and when he accepts the role.
