Team World, led by the legendary John McEnroe, is gearing up for a three-peat at the Laver Cup, which will be McEnroe's final year as captain. The team has announced three of its players: Alex de Minaur, Taylor Fritz, and Tommy Paul.
De Minaur, the Australian No. 1, is in the form of his life, having recently cracked the Top 10 and won the Acapulco title. He is eager to contribute to Team World's success, saying, "We will have a fight on our hands, but I love the team environment and we will give it everything we've got."
Fritz, the world No. 13, is making his fourth Laver Cup appearance and has been a key member of both previous victorious teams. Paul, ranked 16th, is also making his second appearance, having joined the team in Vancouver last year.
"The atmosphere, camaraderie, and excitement of the Laver Cup is unlike any other tournament," said Paul. "I look forward to taking part in Berlin and hopefully contributing to another team victory."
Team Europe, led by Bjorn Borg, has also announced three of its players: Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev, and Alexander Zverev. The remaining players for both teams will be announced based on their rankings on June 10.
The Laver Cup will take place at the Uber Arena in Berlin from September 20-22. Multi-session ticket packages go on sale on April 17, with single session tickets available from May 17.
