Federer, who helped Team Europe claim three
Laver Cup titles by beating Team World, will be present at this
year's edition in Vancouver where a celebration is planned on
Friday to mark the first anniversary of his final competitive
match.
The 42-year-old had played alongside his great rival Rafa Nadal
in that clash, losing to Jack Sock and Frances Tiafoe as Team
World went on to capture the title.
"There's something in me that's Team Europe," Federer said. "I'm
happy if World wins, don't get me wrong, but somehow I can feel
it deep inside, I want Europe to win.
"I like being in the tennis sphere. Maybe one day I'll be the
captain of the team," the 20-times Grand Slam champion said.
"There's no plans as of now, but I think that could be quite
nice."
