(Reuters) - Canadian Milos Raonic, ranked number six in the world, is the first player to be named in the rest of the world team that will take on Europe in the inaugural Laver Cup from Sept. 22-24 in Prague this year. The Laver Cup, a three-day competition modelled on golf's Ryder Cup, will pit a team of six top players from Europe against six of their counterparts from the rest of the world. Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are already confirmed to play for Team Europe, with Tomas Berdych committing to play if qualified or selected. "I can't wait to be part of the first ever Laver Cup. "Milos is incredibly impressive, both as a player and a person, and I'm very pleased he's committed to playing the Laver Cup in September," McEnroe said in the same statement.
