Ruud was also happy about his nomination, for the Norwegian it will be the second appearance at the Laver Cup: "I'm proud to be part of the historic line-up of Team Europe. It was a great experience to be there in Boston and I can't wait to have these incredible players as teammates in London."

While the Europeans are now complete save for a reserve player who has yet to be nominated, Team World captain John McEnroe still has two spots up for grabs.
