Borg, McEnroe renew rivalry as Laver Cup captains

Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe, who met 22 times during their celebrated tennis rivalry, will break their 11-11 head-to-head tie when they captain the Europe and World teams in the inaugural Laver Cup next year.

Borg and McEnroe joined Rod Laver, Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal at a media conference on Wednesday to announce they had committed to lead the teams for the first three years of the new competition, patterned after golf's Ryder Cup.

Federer and Nadal announced they were committing to compete for the European side in next year's debut, at the 02 arena in Prague from Sept 22-24.
