Carlos Alcaraz Clinches Laver Cup Victory for Team Europe with Win Over Taylor Fritz

Carlos Alcaraz secured Team Europe’s fifth Laver Cup title and their first since 2021, overcoming Taylor Fritz, 6-2, 7-5, to deliver a 13-11 victory over Team World. Alcaraz, who contributed to eight of Team Europe’s 13 points, capped off a thrilling Day 3 in Berlin’s Uber Arena with his decisive singles win.

Earlier, Alcaraz teamed up with Casper Ruud for a men’s doubles victory against Fritz and Ben Shelton, continuing his strong Sunday performance. Alcaraz’s triumph followed a crucial comeback by teammate Alexander Zverev, who defeated Frances Tiafoe, 6-7 (6), 7-5, 10-5, after Tiafoe came within two games of winning a third consecutive Laver Cup for Team World.

The weekend began with Team World holding an 8-4 lead after a strong Day 2 performance, where they won three of four matches, including Tiafoe’s 3-6, 6-4, 10-5 victory over Daniil Medvedev. On Sunday, Shelton added to that lead with a 6-7 (6), 7-5, 10-7 win over Medvedev, positioning Team World for a potential victory. However, Zverev’s resilience and Alcaraz’s dominance sealed the comeback for Team Europe, clinching the Laver Cup in dramatic fashion.
