Davis cup court

A collective effort

Bigger than any individual

Rolex partners two major international team competitions: the Davis Cup Finals and the Laver Cup. High points in the tennis season, these two events are an opportunity for the world’s best players to show another side of sporting excellence, to raise their game for the good of the team. This team spirit echoes the Rolex values.

Davis Cup Finals
Individual excellence, team spirit

A Davis Cup partner since 2007, Rolex continues to back this historic international team competition. Following qualifiers staged throughout the year, it culminates in the 8-team season-ending Davis Cup Finals.

Jannik Sinner

A legendary competition

Founded in 1900 by Harvard student Dwight Filley Davis, the men’s team-based tennis match between the USA and Great Britain soon became a global competition.

Davis CUp

In 1945, the International Lawn Tennis Challenge was renamed the Davis Cup in tribute to its founder. For more than 120 years, this event has given the world’s best players the opportunity to raise the bar and put their team and country first. With participants from upwards of 120 nations, the competition is still going strong.

Stefan Edberg

Stefan Edberg
Exemplary champion of the Davis Cup

Stefan Edberg put his all into the Davis Cup, emerging triumphant four times with Sweden, in 1984, 1985, 1987 and 1994. During his stellar career, the champion was renowned for his attacking tennis, winning 41 singles titles, including six Grand Slam® crowns, at the Australian Open (2), Wimbledon (2) and the US Open (2). Inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2004, Edberg became a Rolex Testimonee in 2018.

Laver Cup
International showpiece

Launched in 2017 by Roger Federer, with Rolex as Founding Partner, this competition pits a team from Europe against one from the rest of the world in a format similar to The Ryder Cup in golf. This international competition is played over three days, creating an exceptional intensity. It takes place every year in September, two weeks after the US Open. The first four editions took place in Prague, Chicago, Geneva and Boston, respectively, with Team Europe winning on each occasion. The World team broke through for a maiden victory in London in 2022 and were triumphant again the following year in Vancouver. In 2024, the Laver Cup takes place in Berlin.

A tribute to the tennis greats

As founder of the Laver Cup, Roger Federer succeeded in bringing together four generations of champions for the three-day tournament. Australian legend Rod Laver is the figurehead of this novel competition, while Sweden’s 11-time Grand Slam® champion Björn Borg and American seven-time Grand Slam® winner John McEnroe have rekindled their famous battles at the turn of the 1980s, this time as team captains. And so modern-day champions compete as the legends who inspired them look on.

Team Europe
Laver cup court

Three days, four generations, 12 matches

The Europe and World teams are each comprised of six players, three qualify based on their places in the ATP Rankings, while the remaining three are selected by the captain. The competition is packed into three intense days, with three singles matches and one doubles match played daily. The 12 matches follow a best-of-three-sets format, with a 10-point super tiebreaker in the event of sets being level.

Backed by the ATP since 2019, this unique competition honours the greatest names in tennis and paves the way for the future of the sport. As Borg says: “Only the Laver Cup can bring together so many great players in one place. So it’s the best thing that could ever happen to tennis. It’s the future of tennis.”

On court, team spirit makes for extraordinary moments, such as when Roger Federer played doubles alongside Novak Djokovic in 2018, and Rafael Nadal in 2017, 2019 and 2022.
