Alexander Zverev and Alex de Minaur have confirmed they will represent Team Europe and Team World, respectively, at the ninth edition of the Laver Cup, to be held at The O2 in London from 25-27 September 2026.
Zverev and De Minaur join the No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings, Carlos Alcaraz (Team Europe), and Taylor Fritz (Team World) in the competition.
A six-time Laver Cup competitor and the event’s all-time leading points scorer, Zverev returns to London with unfinished business after last year’s defeat in San Francisco – the first Laver Cup loss of his career. The German had previously been part of Team Europe’s title-winning teams in Prague (2017), Chicago (2018), Geneva (2019), Boston (2021) and Berlin (2024).
Zverev also returns to London, a city where he has enjoyed significant success, including winning the Nitto ATP Finals at The O2 in 2018. He made a good start to his 2026 season, reaching the Australian Open semi-finals (l. to Alcaraz).
“I always love being part of the Laver Cup,” said Zverev. “The team atmosphere is incredible, and the intensity is unlike anything else we play all year. London is a great tennis city and The O2 is one of the most special stadiums in the world for me and has already delivered some unforgettable moments for this event. I’m excited to return and hopefully we can win the title back for Team Europe.”
Team World’s top-ranked player and winner of last week’s ATP 500 event in Rotterdam, De Minaur will compete in his third Laver Cup. Having been part of Team World’s first title victory in London in 2022, he was pivotal again last year in San Francisco, where he won all three of his matches to help secure another victory for Team World.
“Laver Cup is one of the most intense and exciting weeks on the calendar,” said de Minaur. “Playing in London in 2022 was a special moment for our team and San Francisco showed what this group is capable of. I loved playing under Andre Agassi last year and I’m really looking forward to getting back out there in London with him and the team."
