San Francisco’s Chase Center will host the eighth edition of the Laver Cup on September 19-21, 2025.
Players selected for Team Europe and Team World will face off across nine single rubbers and three doubles matches to decide the overall winner.
At the 2024 edition in Berlin, Europe bounced back from consecutive losses to reclaim the trophy, with victories for Alexander Zverev and Carlos Alcaraz in the final two singles matches against Frances Tiafoe and Taylor Fritz securing a late turnaround.
In the overall head-to-head, Europe boast a 5-2 lead. But will that change as we move beyond the Federer-Nadal era?

From the inaugural edition in 2017 up to and including 2024, old rivals Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe have served as the respective Europe and World team captains
