Now a staple in the annual tennis calendar, the Laver Cup was launched in 2017. As part of the launch I was tasked with filming and editing a short documentary piece to celebrate the commission of a new trophy by world renowned elite sports trophy maker, Thomas Lyte. Designed to inaugurate the new tournament, the new trophy was designed in a bold style while retaining melted down elements of one of Rod Laver’s previous honours and the film tells the story of this design process.

The final film screened for Rod Laver, Roger Federer and members of the press in an official unveiling ceremony.
