I think European team would win such a hypothetical tournament. Brady the weakest player on that list followed by Jabeur or maybe Kenin in current form.

No Serena? I would swap Brady and Kenin for Zhang Shuai and Hsieh Su-Wei.

Only hardcore tennis fans will know the proposed players on Team Europe.

As for the players proposed for Team World Brady? Kenin? Andeeescu who is probably placing frantic calls to Darren Cahill (who hopefully won't bite).
Kenin seems more interested in her new boyfriend than tennis right now. We all know Osaka's got issues.

Add Leylah-Annie and drop Brady?

The event would have to be held in Europe the way things are in the WTA right now.

Zhang Shuai is the top Chinese woman right now no? I don't know about Hsieh Su-Wei in singles but she'd make a great doubles partner for someone.

Curious who are you talking about. Her old coach is much more attractive than her new coach.

How would you call the Laver Cup IF it were held for women's? The Goolagong's Cup? ;)
I would like that roster very much.

The hypothetical entry list is based on current rankings, so no Serena.

I'd think the Martina Cup or Navratilova Cup would be more apropos. I'd object, but Graf Cup is another possibility. It could also just be like the Ryder Cup, since that what the idea is behind the Laver Cup and just go with something along the lines of the Ellison Cup.

That was Turnbull's nickname indeed. Because of her speed and quickness on court.

Ich bin ja immer sehr vorsichtig, Aussagen einer Einzelperson 1:1 für bare Münze zu nehmen.

Aber irgendwie gefallen mir diese ganzen Vorgänge nicht, die im Team Thiem in den letzten Monaten passieren.

Bin schon sehr gespannt, wie es bei DT laufen wird, sobald er fit ist.
Translated from German by Google
I am always very cautious about taking statements from an individual 1: 1 at face value.

But somehow I don't like all of the processes that have happened in Team Thiem over the past few months.

I'm really excited to see how things will go at DT as soon as he's fit.
