Rennae Stubbs critiques Laver Cup, suggests mixed team event

The Laver Cup concluded with Team Europe defeating Team World, highlighted by Alexander Zverev's win over Learner Tien. Despite the competitive spirit, former doubles world No. 1 Rennae Stubbs expressed disinterest in the tournament, calling it an exhibition. Stubbs proposed a mixed-gender competition similar to the Hopman Cup, featuring top male and female players. The event recently showcased high-intensity matches, drawing both admiration and criticism with some asserting its legitimacy as a non-exhibition format. Players including Casper Ruud, Brandon Nakashima, and Alexander Zverev plan to compete in upcoming events in Japan and Beijing.
