The Laver Cup is a three-day team competition, where six men’s players from Europe compete against six players from the rest of the world. The venue changes every year. This year, the event will be held at the Chase Center in San Francisco, California, from 19-21 September. Among those in action will be Top 10 stars Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev, representing Team Europe, and Taylor Fritz and Alex de Minaur, representing Team World.
Here’s what you need to know about the eighth edition of the Laver Cup.
The Laver Cup will run for three days, from Friday 19 September to Sunday 21 September at the Chase Center in San Francisco, California, home of the seven-time NBA Champion Golden State Warriors and WNBA’s Golden State Valkyries. The inaugural edition of the Laver Cup was played in Prague, Czechia, in 2017.
The following players are scheduled to compete at this year’s Laver Cup:
Team Europe: Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev, Holger Rune, Casper Ruud, Jakub Mensik and Flavio Cobolli
Team World: Taylor Fritz, Alex de Minaur, Francisco Cerundolo, Joao Fonseca, Alex Michelsen and Reilly Opelka
