Two captains, two legends, two icons, not only of tennis, but of the entire sports world. Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe have a total of 18 Grand Slam titles between them and they starred in one of the greatest rivalries in the history of tennis. Until today, they were the captains of their respective teams in a tournament as unique as the Laver Cup, from which they bid farewell after seven thrilling editions to make way for Andre Agassi and Yannick Noah.

Both former tennis players spoke emotionally during the trophy presentation, and the mutual appreciation they have for each other was very clear: "I want to give a special thanks to my greatest rival, Bjorn Borg. Love you, man," emphasized McEnroe. To which the Swede did not hesitate to respond: "I will miss John a lot. We have had a great time together."
