Zverev, Mr. Lever Cup
Zverev will return for a record eighth edition. The German has played seven of the nine games since the first in Prague 2017 and has been in all six European title-winning teams. In London, he scored the winning point for the fourth time, after Chicago 2018, Geneva 2019 and Boston 2021. He is the tournament’s all-time points leader with 26 and holds the record for singles victories with eight.
“I’ve been a part of the Laver Cup since the beginning and it’s become one of my favorite weeks of the year.”
Alexander Zverev
The 29-year-old, who won his first two Grand Slam titles this year at Roland Garros and the US Open before reaching No. 1, said the format offers something the tour doesn’t. “The atmosphere on the bench, the intensity of the matches and the opportunity to compete alongside players who are usually your biggest rivals makes it a completely different experience,” he said in a statement from the organisers.
Alcaraz gives up early, again
Alcaraz will be making his fourth consecutive appearance in 2024 after his debut in Berlin, where he beat Taylor Fritz to win the title. The seven-time Grand Slam champion has won eight of his 10 Laver Cup matches and has 18 points for Europe.
His early commitment is noteworthy. The Spaniard is one of the loudest critics of the crowded calendar, and in September he had to. to defend his decision to forego the sabbatical to play in London. “The Laver Cup is one of those events that I always want to be a part of,” he said on Tuesday. “It’s a completely different feeling playing for you and the atmosphere is always great.”
“I’m really happy to be back for my fourth Laver Cup and to play alongside Sasha again,” Alcaraz added.
Nov. “Fantastic Start”
Captain of Europe Yannick Noahwho led the team to its sixth title in London, welcomed the news. “Sasha has been involved in every victory of the teams in Europe and knows exactly what it takes to win the Lever Cup,” he said. “Carlos brings so much energy, talent and belief to the team and the other players respond to that. They are both leaders in their own right and their early commitment gives us a fantastic start as we prepare to defend our title in Los Angeles.”
Each team consists of six players. The first team to score 13 points in five sessions played on the event’s black court wins the trophy. Full hospitality packages go on sale November 17, full tournament tickets on February 26, 2027 and single session tickets on April 9, 2027.
