Roger Federer, the architect of the Laver Cup, registered his first win at the competition on the second day of matches at Prague 2017 with a straight-set victory over Sam Querrey.

Later in the day, Federer combined with his arch-rival and good friend Rafael Nadal for the very first time, as the illustrious duo beat Sam Querrey and Jack Sock in a match tiebreak to swell Team Europe's lead to 9-3.

On the final day of action in Prague, John Isner and Jack Sock beat Marin Cilic and Tomas Berdych in two tiebreak sets to reduce Team World's deficit in the tie to 6-9. Sascha Zverev defeated Sam Querrey in straight sets to put Team Europe on the cusp of victory.

After Nadal failed to close the deal for Team Europe, Federer saved a match point against Nick Kyrgios en route to a thrilling 4-6 7-6(6) [11-9] win to seal Team Europe's first triumph in the competition.

In the second edition of the Laver Cup in Chicago, Federer suffered his first defeat in the competition when he and Novak Djokovic went down to Kevin Anderson and Jack Sock in a match tiebreak. The Swiss maestro then beat Kyrgios in straight sets for his fourth singles match win at the Laver Cup.

On the final day of matches in Chicago, Federer combined with Sascha Zverev, only for the pair to squander two match points in a 6-4 6-7(2) [9-11] match tiebreak defeat as Team World took the lead in a Laver Cup tie for the first time (8-7).

Federer, though, rebounded impressively from the setback to stall Team World's momentum in an exhilarating 6-7(5) 7-6(2) [10-7] win in a match tiebreak against John Isner before Sascha Zverev sealed Team Europe's second consecutive title with a win over Kevin Anderson.

Making his third appearance at the Laver Cup in the 2019 edition, following a quarterfinal exit at the US Open, Federer teamed up with Zverev on the opening day in Geneva to notch up his second win in four doubles matches in the competition as Team Europe took a 3-1 lead.

On an evenly contested second day, after Zverev lost to Isner, Federer restored Team Europe's lead in the tie with a 6-7(5) 7-5 [10-7] win against Nick Kyrgios in a match tiebreak.

On a dramatic final day of action in Geneva, Team World was jolted by the withdrawal of Rafael Nadal due to injury. Federer, originally scheduled to team up with Nadal, instead turned up with Stefanos Tsitsipas for the doubles tie.

The brand new pairing resulted in Federer's third Laver Cup doubles loss as Jack Sock and John Isner triumphed in a match tiebreak 5-7 6-4 [10-8]. Taylor Fritz's upset win over Dominic Thiem in the next match meant that Team Europe needed to win the last two matches of the tie to retain their title.

Federer did not disappoint his home fans as he beat Isner 6-4 7-6(3) to extend his perfect singles record in the competition to 6-0. In the process, Federer became the second player, along with Sock, to register 8 match wins at the Laver Cup (8-3 record).

For the second year in a row, Sascha Zverev followed up Federer's win over Isner by landing the knockout blow on Team World, as a 6-4 3-6 [10-5] win over Milos Raonic in a match tiebreak confirmed Team Europe's third triumph in the competition.
