Carlos Alcaraz and Taylor Fritz have already confirmed their presence at the Laver Cup 2025, which will be held in San Francisco. The opportunity for the Spaniard to have Yannick Noah as captain, and the American to have Andre Agassi.
From September 19 to 25, the Laver Cup will celebrate its eighth edition, and Team Europe, which leads 7-2, will try to extend its domination. But this Laver Cup 2025 will be held at the Chase Center in San Francisco and there is no doubt that the World team will want to shine “at home”. In any case, we know the names of the first two players who will be present in the den usually reserved for the Golden State Warriors. And not the least! These are in fact Carlos Alcaraz and Taylor Fritz. Ironically, it was by beating the American that the Spaniard offered victory to Team Europe last September in Berlin. The winner of the last Roland-Garros, who will then be 22 years old, will take part in his second Laver Cup. And he will have by his side on the bench a certain Yannick Noah, who will in fact replace Bjorn Borg, who was captain of the Europe team since the first edition in 2017. The Frenchman, also named last week national coordinator of paratennis at the French Federation, is delighted to be able to coach one of the best players in the world: “ Carlos is a one-of-a-kind talent. His speed, energy and ability to rise in big moments is unmatched and I am delighted to have him with us as part of the European team. He inspires everyone around him and his presence on the team makes us stronger.
Agassi alongside Fritz
On the World side, John McEnroe will leave his place on the bench to Andre Agassi, and Taylor Fritz (27), for his fifth appearance in the Laver Cup, will therefore have the honor of being coached by his illustrious elder. “Taylor has been a force for the World Team and his commitment to the Laver Cup is undeniable. He loves the team spirit of competition and thrives in this unique format. He's had an incredible season and I'm excited to know he's ready to lead the charge for us in San Francisco next September », rejoiced Agassi. The names of the ten other players who will take part in the Laver Cup 2025 will be revealed in the coming months.
