Laver Cup Day 3: 3 matches to watch out for

This year's Laver Cup in Chicago has been an eventful one so far as Team Europe are aiming to defend the title against Team World.

The meeting began on Friday which saw Team Europe take a convincing lead with victories from Grigor Dimitrov, Kyle Edmund and David Goffin.

John McEnroe's world squad got one point back when Kevin Anderson and Jack Sock defeated the glittering partnership of Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic.

The opening day ended with Team Europe leading 3-1.

Day 2 was a lot better for Team World despite the first two matches going in Team Europe's favour.

Wins for Alexander Zverev and Federer made it 7-1 for Team Europe as the second day rewards the match winners two points.

But Anderson got his revenge against Djokovic after losing to the Serb at this year's Wimbledon final.

Dimitrov and David Goffin failed to continue Team Europe's dominance as Sock and Nick Kyrgios put Team World back in contention.

So we have now reached the final day in Chicago where we will find out the winner of this year's Laver Cup.

Four matches remain on the schedule and here are three games to look forward to.

#3 Zverev v Anderson

2017 Washington Open

The Laver Cup could well and truly be decided before this match even takes place on Sunday.

Alexander Zverev versus Kevin Anderson is third in the running order but if Team Europe win the first two matches on Sunday then they will have completed their defence for the title.

13 points is the target to win the Laver Cup and three points is awarded to the winning team per match.

Zverev is only 21 years old but is already showing that the future of the sport could be topped by the German when the days of Federer, Rafael Nadal and Djokovic are no more.

Anderson however, is playing the best tennis of his career so far. A runner-up at this year's Wimbledon to Djokovic, the South African is bidding to qualify for the ATP World Tour Finals at the end of the season in London.

The head to head between these two is a one-horse race as Zverev has beaten Anderson every time they have met. 4-0 is the head to head scoreline.

Their biggest meeting was Zverev's victory at the Washington Open final to deny Anderson an ATP title.

Zverev will no doubt be the favourite for this one but Anderson is very determined at the moment.

#2 Federer/Zverev vs Isner/Sock

Zverev may learn a thing or two from the great one

The first match of the day is a doubles meeting of Federer and Zverev versus Sock and John Isner.

A meeting that will be hard to predict after what we witnessed in Friday night's session when Federer and Djokovic fell short to Sock and Anderson.

The American duo of Sock and Isner could be a threatening one towards Federer and Zverev.

Sock and Isner have played as a pairing many times before especially in the Davis Cup so the chemistry is strong with them.

For Zverev and Federer, they both have a busy day ahead of them as Federer will go up against Isner straight after the doubles.

And the German will follow against Anderson. The Americans could snatch this one for Team World.

#1 Djokovic vs Kyrgios

It could be the championship decider

Novak Djokovic versus Nick Kyrgios will be the final match of Laver Cup 2018, whether or not the championship will be decided by then is a different matter.

But believe it or not, Djokovic has never beaten the Australian.

Both players have only met on two occasions and those two matches took place last year where Kyrgios was victorious in both meetings.

Kyrgios defeated Djokovic at the Indian Wells Masters and the Acapulco in Mexico.

Djokovic's opponent has played in two matches at the Laver Cup so far. His opening match being a defeat to Federer before defeating Dimitrov and Goffin alongside Sock in the doubles.

Could this be the championship decider?
