President Emmanuel Macron pledged during his 2017 election campaign to push the law despite deep resistance among right-wing opponents as well as conservative Roman Catholics and other religious groups.

He’ll be excited to come here and talk about that. It was an easy decision in the end.” Godsick was in town with Laver Cup CEO Steve Zacks to begin working on details for tournament, which will be held Sept. 25-27, at TD Garden. Godsick and Zacks spent Monday morning at Harvard Business School, where students in Anita Elberse’s class grilled the two in a case study about the event. There have been just three host cities of the Laver Cup: Prague two years ago, Chicago last year, and Geneva this year. “Boston hasn’t had tennis, and that checked a very important box for us,” said Godsick. “Huge market, important box … [Read more...] about Laver Cup officials lay out their plans for Boston 2020
