Records at Laver Cup
In May 2019, the Laver Cup attained official recognition as a sanctioned event within the ATP Tour calendar. It is worth noting that matches contested during the Laver Cup tournament deviate from the customary three-set matches witnessed in conventional ATP Tour encounters. In instances where the match reaches an equilibrium with both competitors securing one set apiece, a distinctive format comes into play, namely the 10-point "match tiebreak," which supplants the conventional final set, thus adding a unique dimension to the competition.
