Good start this afternoon for Team Europe v Team World as Casper Ruud beats Jack Sock and Stefanos Tsitsipas beats Diego Schwartzman to put Europe 2-0 up.

Things looked good v Andy Murray v Alex De Minaur as he won the first set but De Minaur took the second set to force a championship tiebreak.

Then we have tonight's climax as Roger Federer takes to the court for one last time alongside his great rival Rafael Nadal in the doubles.

One not to be missed, that's for sure!

Murray looked absolutely spent in the championship tiebreak. Some length of match for a two set and a tiebreak though I suppose.

Team World win in a final set championship tiebreak and the Laver Cup is level at 2-2 after day one.

And that's it all over for Roger Federer - after 24 glorious years as a professional he has now bowed out of competitive tennis at 41 years old.

Thanks for the memories Roger, it's been a great ride.

Today sees the final day of the Laver Cup and Team World are on the brink of their first ever Laver Cup victory as they are 10-8 up after winning the first two matches today in both singles and doubles.

However Team Europe look like they will force it into the final match of the weekend as Stefanos Tsitsipas has just won the first set 6-1 v Frances Tiafoe.

It's triple points for a win on the final day so if Team Europe win this one they'll go 11-10 up.

Unbelievable tiebreak that lasts 20 minutes is won by Tiafoe and Team World will win the Laver Cup if Tiafoe can win this championship tiebreak!
