Roger Federer expressed his desire to witness the formidable partnership of Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz to strengthen Team Europe's lineup for the 2024 Laver Cup.

Federer was present at the Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Canada, to witness Team World secure their second consecutive title, who won their maiden Laver Cup last year.

"I would like to see Novak again to be honest. I would love to see actually Alcaraz and Novak on the same team. Love to see that happen," he told Eurosport.

With next year's edition set to be held in Berlin, Roger Federer mentioned home favorite Alexander Zverev as a significant attraction. Furthermore, he acknowledged that the withdrawals of Stefanos Tsitsipas and Holger Rune adversely affected Team Europe's chances this year and expressed his hope for their comeback in 2024.

"Zverev would be great for the German market as well and he's been such a great supporter of the Laver Cup as well. Someone like Rune, he pulled out too and that really hurt Team Europe. Losing Tsitsipas and Rune," he said.

Roger Federer also named Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev in his ideal lineup for Laver Cup 2024.

"There's a lot to choose from, [Daniil] Medvedev obviously would be great. I like watching [Andrey] Rublev as well. I think he tried really hard but it was a tough weekend for him. Then hopefully somebody is going to breakthrough as well adaset a chance to be a pick for Bjorn Borg," he added.
