After their doubles debut at the 2025 Laver Cup, the two biggest stars from Team Europe and Team World, Carlos Alcaraz and Taylor Fritz, will face off in a crucial match of this year’s event.

Alcaraz’s task becomes even tougher after Alexander Zverev and Holger Rune lost their matches earlier, costing Team Europe 4 valuable points to Team World. Meanwhile, if Fritz pulls off an upset against Carlitos, he will increase the score to 7-3 in favor of Team World, securing their lead at the end of day two.

However, this will certainly be a very difficult challenge for the American player as Alcaraz is currently in outstanding form. Even on the indoor hard courts at Chase Center (San Francisco, USA), where the court speed is relatively slow—limiting the effectiveness of serves and leading to longer rallies—Alcaraz, the Spaniard, excels in these extended exchanges.
