Rafter visualizes Guga playing alongside Sampras and Agassi
Rafter puts Guga with Sampras, Agassi and Hewitt on the Laver Cup team at Served; it's opinion, not official call-up, but he values the idol.
An escalation that arises from conversation, not official summons
Patrick Rafter, a two-time Australian Open champion,US took Gustavo Kuerten to an imaginary Laver Cup selection.[3] The idea was not presented as an official list but as the response of a former champion in a conversation about teams of legends.[4] The space chosen was the Served podcast hosted by Andy Roddick, a format that usually gathers backstage accounts and personal opinions from guests.
The team described by Rafter: Guga, 2 Americans and 1 Australian
In the ranking commented by Rafter, Guga appears alongside Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi, the 2 Americans mentioned, and Lleyton Hewitt, the 1 Australian who is also part of the group recalled by the two-time champion of the US Open.
Why the mention of Guga matters to Brazilian fans
When an Australian like Rafter puts Guga alongside Sampras, Agassi and Hewitt, the message is simple: The Brazilian's career continues to be used as a reference when it comes to selecting former champions.
What's left after the podcast
The lineup follows as Rafter's opinion on the Served podcast, not as an announcement of the Laver Cup.[citation needed] The episode however reopens a recurring debate among fans: which legends should make up an ideal team when the competition mixes memory, titles and charisma.
