Spain’s
Carlos Alcaraz has confirmed his participation in
the 2025 edition of the
Laver Cup. The team-based competition is being played
after the US Open on a yearly basis, where top players from all over the world
participate and represent teams in Europe and the World.
World number three Alcaraz has become the most high-profile
player to confirm his participation in the next year’s competition. He will be
representing Team Europe in the competition. Team’s captain Yannick Noah has
expressed his excitement about having a player of Alcaraz’s quality in the
contingent.
“Carlos is a once-in-a-generation talent,” he siad. His speed, energy and ability to rise in big
moments are unmatched and I’m thrilled to have him with us on Team Europe,”
said Noah. “He inspires everyone around him and his presence on the team makes
us stronger.”
Alcaraz himself expressed excitement to play in the
competition next year. “It was great being part of Team Europe at the Laver Cup
in Berlin this year,” he said. “To have all the players I’m used to fighting
against together, on the bench supporting me, sharing the same goal – to lift
the trophy – is unique. I found it really motivating. I loved the Laver Cup
energy, the environment, the atmosphere, and I can’t wait to be part of it
again in San Francisco.”
The young Spaniard played a key role in helping Team Europe
in clinching the title this year. Another high-profile player who has confirmed
his participation in the Laver Cup next year is reigning world number four
America’s Taylor Fritz. The 27-year-old was on the losing side in the title
decider to Alcaraz. Fritz was also quoted in a report where he expressed how excited
he is to take part in the mega-event next year.
“I am pumped to represent Team World once again,” said
Fritz. “The atmosphere, camaraderie, team chemistry and excitement of the Laver
Cup is unlike any other tournament. I’m
sure the energy will be amazing and hopefully the home fans will come out in
force to support us in San Francisco. We really want the Laver Cup back!”
