Laver Cup 2025 features star lineups in San Francisco

sportingnews.com

The 2025 Laver Cup will take place at San Francisco's Chase Center from September 19 to 21. This event features Team Europe against Team World in a series of singles and doubles matches. The competition will include nine singles and three doubles matches to determine the winner. Last year in Berlin, Team Europe won the trophy again after previously losing twice in a row. Alexander Zverev and Carlos Alcaraz helped secure the victory in the final matches against Frances Tiafoe and Taylor Fritz. Historically, Team Europe has a lead of 5-2 in the overall competition. This year, as the sport moves past legends Federer and Nadal, new players are stepping up. So far, two players have been confirmed for each team. Team Europe will feature reigning champions Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev, who has played in all five European victories. Team World will include American players Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton, both of whom participated last year. Fritz is looking for redemption after losing to Alcaraz in the previous Laver Cup. The captains for the 2025 teams will be different from past years. Yannick Noah will lead Team Europe. He is known for winning the French Open in 1983 and has also had a successful music career. Team World will be captained by tennis star Andre Agassi, who is an eight-time major champion and completed his career Grand Slam in 1999. More player announcements will follow as the event approaches.
