Squad aims to defend title against Europe at Sept. 22-24 event at Rogers Arena
The final piece is in place for defending Laver Cup champion Team World.
Australia's Nick Kyrgios will join Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime and Americans Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe for the tournament in Vancouver.
The tournament, which will see the World team take on Team Europe with six players on each side, is scheduled for Sept. 22-24 at Rogers Arena.
Stefanos Tsitsipas and Andrey Rublev were the first players confirmed for Team Europe, with Denmark's Holger Rune added to captain Bjorn Borg's six-man squad on Tuesday.
Rune, a 19-year-old who's ranked seventh in the world, will be making his Laver Cup debut.
Kyrgios represented Team World in four of the five editions of Laver Cup but missed last year's event, where the team won its first title.
Montreal's Auger-Aliassime upset current world No. 1 Novak Djokovic as part of the winning effort for Team World in 2022.
