Three-time Grand Slam champion Andy Murray will play alongside Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer at the Laver Cup in London in September.

This will be the fifth edition. It’s being held at the O2 Arena on Sept. 23-25. Team Europe is 4-0 so far.
Federer’s management company founded the competition.
Murray plays a second-round match at Wimbledon later Wednesday against John Isner of the United States.
