Laver Cup 2025: Entry List, Schedule, Draw, Results, Predictions and Format

The annual Laver Cup competition will see players representing Europe and the rest of the world battle it out in San Francisco this year, with both star-studded rosters finally complete.

Founded by Swiss tennis legend Roger Federer in 2017, the multinational event pits pits six of the best men’s tennis players from Europe against six of their counterparts from the rest of the world over three days of intense team competition. Each team is captained by a legend of the sport, with Yannick Noah leading Team Europe and Andre Agassi in charge of Team World.

Named in honor of Australian legend Rod Laver, the fan-favorite event features a combination of singles and doubles matches. The unique scoring system grants each match win one point on Friday, two points on Saturday, and three points on Sunday, with the first team to reach 13 points winning the tournament.

The 2025 edition will take place at the Chase Center in San Francisco from September 19–21, 2025. Europe currently leads the all-time Laver Cup series 5-2, defeating Team World in an exciting contest last year in Berlin.

Team Europe will hope to defend their title as they return with a formidable lineup. Former World No.1 Carlos Alcaraz will spearhead the attack, and the Spaniard will be joined by World No.3 Alexander Zverev.

Danish star Holger Rune and Casper Ruud (No.12) rejoin the squad. Italian Flavio Cobolli, who was an alternate last year, returns as a starter at this year's edition. Rising Czech star Jakub Mensik will be making his debut at the event. The 19-year old defeated Novak Djokovic to win his maiden ATP Masters 1000 title at the Miami Open earlier this year, and has risen to a career-high of World No.16.

Team World will see several familiar faces return to the squad. Americans Taylor Fritz, Ben Shelton Tommy Paul and Frances Tiafoe will hope to garner support from local fans.

Additionally, Brazilian wonderkid Joao Fonseca will be making his debut at the event. Argentine Francisco Cerundolo will return for his third Laver Cup, having played in Vancouver in 2023 and Berlin in 2024.

Friday, 19 September: Day Session- Match 1 (Singles) starts at 1 p.m. PT, followed by Match 2 (Singles). Night Session- Match 3 (Singles) starts at 7 p.m. PT, followed by Match 4 (Doubles).

Saturday, 20 September: Day Session- Match 5 (Singles) starts at 1 p.m. PT, followed by Match 6 (Singles). Night Session- Match 7 (Singles) starts at 7 p.m. PT, followed by Match 8 (Doubles).

Sunday, 21 September: Day Session- Match 9 (Doubles) starts at 12 p.m. PT, followed by three singles matches- Match 10, Match 11 and Match 12- if required.

There is no draw so to speak as like the Davis Cup and Billie Jean King Cup it is very much subject to change depending on player requirement so Alcaraz and co could play everyday or not at all depending on the captains Andre Agassi and Bjorn Borg.

Samuel Gill, Head Editor of TennisUpToDate sees one stand out team.

That for me is Team Europe. Despite not Sinner, Draper or the like they have most of the top names from the top 15 with Alcaraz, Rune, Zverev, Ruud, Mensik and Cobolli. Even the latter players are either rising or are capable.

Team World have Taylor Fritz leading the way but he is semi out on his own with Alex de Minaur. Francisco Cerundolo, Joao Fonseca, Alex Michelsen and Reilly Opelka

So I see Team Europe scooping the title in LA and denting the chances of the mainly home hosted Team World.

The format consists of five sessions played over three days. The first team to win 13 points wins the trophy. If tied after 12 matches, a doubles match will be used to decide the winner.

Matches on Day One are worth a point each, matches on Day 2 are worth two points each and matches on Day Three three points each. This makes it all to play for throughout the event.
