Taylor Fritz, Carlos Alcaraz announced as first players for Laver Cup 2025

Two months after squaring off to decide the 2024 Laver Cup in Berlin, Taylor Fritz and Carlos Alcaraz were announced Monday as the first players confirmed for the 2025 Laver Cup in San Francisco.

At the 2024 event, Alcaraz clinched victory for Team Europe by edging Fritz in a winner-takes-all 12th match of the competition. They will return to the Laver Cup stage at the Chase Center in San Francisco, with the event's eighth edition scheduled for Sept. 19-21, 2025.

“I am pumped to represent Team World once again,” said Fritz. “The atmosphere, camaraderie, team chemistry and excitement of the Laver Cup is unlike any other tournament. I’m sure the energy will be amazing and hopefully the home fans will come out in force to support us in San Francisco. We really want the Laver Cup back!”

Making his fifth Laver Cup appearance, Fritz will hope to help new Team World captain Andre Agassi lift the cup in his debut season.

"Taylor has been a force for Team World, and his commitment to the Laver Cup is undeniable,” said Agassi, who has taken over the reins from John McEnroe. “He loves the team element of the competition and thrives in this unique format. He’s had an incredible season and I’m excited to know he’s ready to lead the charge for us at home in San Francisco next September.”
