Alex de Minaur, Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul are the first to line up for John McEnroe’s Team World as they bid to defend their title at the Laver Cup, which runs from 20-22 September at the Uber Arena in Berlin.

All three players were part of Team World’s historic first Laver Cup victory at The O2 in London in 2022. Fritz and Paul were also part of the victorious team last year in Vancouver.

Team Europe Captain Bjorn Borg has already named three of the biggest stars in tennis to his six-man roster — No. 3 in the PIF ATP Rankings Carlos Alcaraz, World No. 4 Daniil Medvedev and World No. 5 Alexander Zverev.

This will be the final year that Borg and McEnroe will go head-to-head as Laver Cup team captains, having held the roles since the inaugural Laver Cup in 2017 in Prague.

“Bjorn has had a really strong start to his lineup this year, so it’s great to have Alex, Taylor and Tommy back on the team again,” said McEnroe. “They have performed well in this competition, have been great team members, and know what it takes to win.

“We’ve had some epic Laver Cup battles over the years. With this being our final year, both Bjorn and I will be pulling out all the stops to get the victory.”

The Australian De Minaur has had an impressive start to 2024, breaking into the Top 10 of the PIF ATP Rankings for the first time after back-to-back wins against Fritz, Novak Djokovic and Zverev at the United Cup in January. He backed that up the following month by winning his eighth ATP Tour title in Acapulco.

“Being part of the Laver Cup in London was incredible and I’m honoured to be back on Captain McEnroe’s team once again,” said De Minaur. “We will have a fight on our hands with an impressive roster of Team Europe players so far, but I love the team environment and we will give it everything we’ve got to pull off the win for Team World.”

Berlin will be the fourth Laver Cup call-up for American Fritz, who currently sits at No. 13 in the PIF ATP Rankings. His victory at the ATP Tour event in Delray Beach in February 2023 saw him achieve a career-high ranking of No. 5, making him the first American in the Top 5 since 2009. He captured the Delray Beach title once again this year, beating countryman Paul in the final.


“Laver Cup is one of my favourite events,” said Fritz. “Teaming up with our rivals and being courtside to cheer them on while being mentored by a legend like John McEnroe is truly incredible. Team World brings such a great energy and positive vibe that we’ve managed to pull off some incredible wins over the years and we’ll be aiming to do it again in Berlin.”

Paul is back for a third Laver Cup, having been an alternate in his first outing at the event in London in 2022, before playing for the winning team last year in Vancouver.

“It was incredible to step out on court for Team World last year in Vancouver,” said Paul. “The atmosphere, camaraderie and excitement of the Laver Cup is unlike any other tournament. I look forward to taking part in Berlin and hopefully contributing to another team victory.”

Named in honour of Australian tennis legend Rod Laver, winner of the calendar-year Grand Slam in 1962 and 1969, the Laver Cup puts six of the top men’s tennis players from Europe against six of their counterparts from the rest of the world. The competition is played on a dramatic black court and rotates host cities between Europe and the World annually.

Each team's six players must all compete in one singles match during the first two days, and no more than two during the three-day competition. At least four of the six players must play doubles. Each match win is worth one point on Friday, two points on Saturday, and three points on Sunday, with the first team to reach 13 points winning the Laver Cup.

The top three ranked players for each team earn a guaranteed invitation based on their PIF ATP Ranking in singles on the Monday after Roland-Garros (10 June 2024). The remaining three will be Captain's picks and named any time before the start of the US Open. With the naming of De Minaur, Fritz and Paul before the qualification deadline, McEnroe is committing to use one or more of his Captain’s picks if needed to guarantee their participation.

A variety of Multi-Session Ticket Package options, providing the same seat for select sessions of the tournament, will go on sale on Wednesday, April 17 at 10:00AM CET via the Laver Cup Ticket Shop operated by CTS Eventim at lavercup.com/tickets. Single-Session Tickets will go on sale on Friday, May 17 at 10:00AM CET.

By Press Release
Tennis superstar Rafael Nadal will join Team Europe later this year for the seventh edition of the Laver Cup, to be held at Uber Arena in Berlin from September 20-22.

Nadal will team up with fellow Spaniard and World No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz, World No. 4 Daniil Medvedev and World No. 5 Alexander Zverev as Team Europe bid to win back the Laver Cup under the watchful eye of captain Bjorn Borg.

The 22-time Grand Slam Champion, who has hinted that 2024 may be his last year on tour, made his eagerly anticipated return to the ATP Tour last week at the Barcelona Open.

Berlin will be Nadal’s fourth Laver Cup appearance, having competed in Prague in 2017, Geneva in 2019 and then alongside close friend and long-time rival Roger Federer in doubles, for the last match of Federer’s career at The O2 in London in 2022.

“I am very happy to be playing Laver Cup in Berlin for Team Europe,” said Nadal. “I have some really special memories from my Laver Cup experiences, including all the emotions from London two years ago playing alongside Roger for the last time.

“At this stage in my career I really want to go out there and make the most of every opportunity I am given. Teaming up is always an incredible experience and I have always enjoyed it, the competition is different and exciting. I’m looking forward to going to Berlin and helping Team Europe win back the Laver Cup.”

Borg is delighted to have Nadal join as one of his “Captains Picks” as he puts together his six-man roster for the final time this year.

“Rafa is an absolute legend in our sport, a true champion in every sense of the word,” said Borg. “It’s my last year as Captain. Having him on Team Europe this year was a goal of mine and I’m thrilled he has accepted my invitation and will be with us in Berlin.”

“He loves playing Laver Cup and is one of the greatest competitors the sport has ever seen. The aim is to win back the Laver Cup and having Rafa alongside Carlos, Daniil and Sascha is an unbelievable line-up for us so far.”

Team World captain John McEnroe announced the first three players to his roster earlier this month – Australian No.1 Alex de Minaur and Americans Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul. All three were part of Team World’s historic first Laver Cup victory in London. Fritz and Paul were also part of the victorious team last year in Vancouver.

This will be the final year that Borg and McEnroe will go head-to-head as Laver Cup team captains, having held the roles since the inaugural Laver Cup in 2017 in Prague.

The top three-ranked players for each team earn a guaranteed invitation based on their PIF ATP singles ranking on the Monday after Roland-Garros (June 10, 2024). The remaining three will be Captains’ picks and named any time before the start of the US Open.

Since its inception eight years ago, the Laver Cup has established itself as one of the most prestigious tennis events on the calendar, bringing together top-class tennis and entertainment with premium partners and hospitality offerings to create an unrivalled spectacle for sports fans around the world.

Znowu sobie pobeczy ze swoim szwajcarskim pachołem?

[Kiefer]

Nie zdziwi mnie, jak pewnego dnia dojdzie Roger do wniosku, że lepiej zrobić z Laver Cup turniej emerytów, bo jak oni wszyscy już pokończą kariery, to będą przyciągać większą uwagę niż aktualny top.

[DUN I LOVE]

Nie będą.
