Laver Cup 2022 Betting Tips & Predictions (September 23-25)
This weekend sees tennis’s prestigious Laver Cup 2022 write another chapter in its history at the O2 Arena in London. Team Europe takes on Team World in what will be Roger Federer’s last weekend of his tennis career.
Twelve of tennis’s best players will face off against each other on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, six representing Team Europe and six standing for Team World. While the legacy of which team wins is an intriguing contest, with names such as Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic competing, a far more significant event in tennis history is at hand this weekend.
The Laver Cup will be Roger Federer’s final appearance on a tennis court in a competitive capacity, as the Swiss maestro has announced his retirement from the sport recently. Fittingly, Federer’s final match will be on the same side of the net as Rafael Nadal in the doubles on Friday.
We look ahead to the Laver Cup tournament this weekend, previewing the bookmakers’ odds and providing expert picks.

Overall Laver Cup Tennis 2022 Odds
Looking at the latest odds to win the Laver Cup 2022, a clear favourite exists at the online tennis bookies for an overall winner this weekend:
Team Europe to win @ 1.42 (2/5)
Team World to win @ 4.20 (10/3)
While these odds do not provide very attractive betting, looking a little further at the match-by-match stats, several bet deals can be found. A quick overview of the event’s history and 2022 participants clarifies these.
Billed as tennis’s answer to the Ryder Cup, the Laver Cup began in 2017, pitting players from the European continent against those from all other continents.
The format involves six players who qualify based on their ATP ranking and three that are captain’s picks. Twelve matches are then played, with games on Day One worth one point, Day Two worth two points, and Day Three worth three points. Each participant plays singles at least once, and four of the six players compete in doubles, with the tournament ending when one team reaches a total of 13 points.
Historically, Team Europe have dominated past events:
2017 — Team Europe won 15-9
2018 — Team Europe won 13-8
2019 — Team Europe won 13-11
2021 — Team Europe won 14-1
Team World has never won the Laver Cup, coming close in 2019 with a 13-11 scoreline. Last year’s score of 14-1 shows that they have their work cut out for them this weekend if they are to lift the trophy.
Laver Cup Predictions for 2022
Looking at the teams for the Laver Cup 2022, we can see that this weekend will offer some great matchups to bet on.
So far, the schedule that has been announced as the following matches scheduled for Day One:
Casper Ruud vs Jack Sock
Stefanos Tsitsipas vs. Diego Schwartzman
Andy Murray vs Alex de Minaur
Federer/Nadal vs Sock/Tiafoe in the doubles
As we’ll see below, these matches provide some great opportunities for the bettors.
Bet on Laver Cup Tennis 2022
Here are some of our best predictions to make on Day One of the Laver Cup 2022:
Jack Sock to Win the First Set Against Casper Ruud @ 2.65 (13/8)
While Jack Sock is currently ranked No.128 in the world, he is a former No.8, and his current ranking does not reflect his calibre.
In his latest singles match, Sock took the first two sets off World No.16 Diego Schwartzman at the US Open before being hampered by an injury that led to his retirement. A week earlier, he had won the Washington Open doubles alongside Nick Kyrgios. On the other hand, Casper Ruud is coming off the disappointment of losing in the US Open final and everything that comes with that.
While Sock may not have the fitness or consistency to win his match against Ruud, there’s every chance he’ll come out of the gate fast and win the first set. With a healthy return of 2.65 (13/8), it’s a good bet to make this Friday.
Andy Murray to Beat Alex de Minaur Outright @ 2.18 (6/5)
Ranked No.43 in the world, Andy Murray is technically the underdog against No.22 Alex de Minaur, and the odds of 2.18 (6/5) reflect it.
However, former world No.1 Andy Murray has shown patches of solid form this year. His third-round appearance at the US Open saw him push No.14 Matteo Berrettini in a tight four-set match, while he has the prize of Stefanos Tsitsipas and Nick Kyrgios in the last few months as well.
Playing in front of a home crowd, alongside teammates such as Djokovic, Nadal, and Federer, who used to be his equals, expect Murray to rise to the challenge and dispatch Team World’s Alex de Minaur.
Diego Schwartzman to Win the Second Set Against Stefanos Tsitsipas @ 2.65 (13/8)
World No.4 Stefanos Tsitsipas should have too much for Team World’s Diego Schwartzman in their Friday singles match. Tsitsipas will be stinging from his early exit at the US Open and is eager to finish the year on a positive note in the next two months.
However, world No.17 Schwartzman has a reputation as being a fierce competitor, so betting on the Argentinian to make this hard for Tsitsipas by winning the second set is a good pick. Looking at Schwartzman’s last five ATP 1000 matches, three have gone the distance and been three-set results.
Expect Schwartz to fight here and win the second set, returning odds of 2.65 (13/8).
For those feeling emotional about Roger Federer retiring from tennis, here’s our bonus pick this Friday. And, of course, with the ability to win by using trustly betting sites or any other suitable alternative.
Federer/Nadal to Defeat Sock/Tiafoe @ 2.12 (11/10)
The head says Sock and Tiafoe are a better doubles pair, but the heart says Federer and Nadal will provide a victorious finish to the career of the tennis great.
Sock is an excellent doubles player, having recently won the Washington Open 500 alongside Nick Kyrgios. His partner Frances Tiafoe is hot after his US Open semi-final run. However, the calibre of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal is undeniable—Nadal sits at No.3 worldwide. While Federer is currently unranked, his 20 Grand Slam titles are no joke, despite concerns over his fitness.
Take a bet on Federer to end his career on a high here.
Laver Cup 2022 Predictions
Andy Murray to Beat Alex de Minaur @ 2.18 (6/5)
Diego Schwartzman to Win the Second Set Against Stefanos Tsitsipas @ 2.65 (13/8)
Federer/Nadal to Defeat Sock/Tiafoe @ 2.12 (11/10)
This weekend will be historical, regardless of the Laver Cup outcome. Roger Federer retiring is the end of an era, and chances are, he will bow out on the side of a victorious Team Europe, who are heavily favoured to win this weekend.
The Laver Cup occurs this weekend, with play across three days, on 23 September to 25 September. The first match is at 1:00 PM GMT on Friday.

They say that from the start of Indian Wells through to the end of the US Open, there’s no stopping in the tennis calendar.
