Why it matters
The Laver Cup is an annual men’s team tennis tournament between Team Europe and Team World, intended to be tennis’ equivalent of golf’s Ryder Cup. Each team is made up of six players.
The first team to 13 points over five sessions, played on the event’s black court, wins the trophy. Team Europe is chasing a record-extending seventh title.
Zverev will make a record eighth appearance, having been part of all six Europe title-winning campaigns since his debut at the inaugural event in Prague in 2017. He is the event’s all-time leading points scorer with 26 and holds the record for singles wins with eight.
In London, he clinched the winning point for the fourth time, after Chicago 2018, Geneva 2019 and Boston 2021. Alcaraz will make his fourth consecutive appearance after debuting in Berlin in 2024, where he beat Taylor Fritz to clinch the title.
He has won eight of his 10 Laver Cup matches and scored 18 points for Europe.

Zverev said he has been part of Laver Cup since the very beginning and it has become one of his favorite weeks of the year, adding that the atmosphere on the bench, the intensity of the matches and the opportunity to compete alongside players who are normally your biggest rivals make it a completely different experience.
Alcaraz said Laver Cup is one of those events he always wants to be part of, that he loves playing as a team, being on the bench supporting the other guys and sharing those moments together, and that it is a completely different feeling to playing for yourself with an atmosphere that is always amazing.
He added he is really happy to be coming back for his fourth Laver Cup and to be playing alongside Sascha again, and that he is excited to play in Los Angeles and hopefully help Team Europe win another title.
