Laver Cup final day line-up: Carlos Alcaraz and Taylor Fritz in potential decider

The Laver Cup will come to an end on Sunday, with Team World leading Team Europe 8-4. It was a great second day for John McEnroe's team, who secured three victories and are now in a strong position to win the title for the third consecutive time.

Both teams will rely on their top-ranked players on the final day, repeating the same singles players as Saturday but with different opponents. Unlike the first two days, the doubles match will kick off the day, and each match will be worth 3 points.

Bjorn Borg's chosen pair will be Carlos Alcaraz and Casper Ruud, despite the Norwegian's poor performance in Saturday's loss alongside Tsitsipas. Their opponents will be the American duo of Ben Shelton and Frances Tiafoe, who will be aiming to keep Team World's winning streak alive.
