Team World finally wins the Laver Cup for the first time in its brief history. Team Europe looked to be the hot favorite to conquer the Cup once again having in the lineup the Big4 (Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Andy Murray) alongside Casper Ruud (world number 2), Stefanos Tsitsipas, Matteo Berrettini, and Cameron Norrie.
After the first 2 days, Team Europe was leading 8-4 and it needed to win 2 matches of 4 in the last day.
After Jack Sock and Felix Auger-Aliassime defeated Andy Murray and Matteo Berrettini in doubles, Auger-Aliassime shocked Novak Djokovic with a straight-set win.
Stefanos Tsitsipas looked to be in full control of the third match against Frances Tiafoe. After sailing 6-1 in the first set, Tsitsipas had 4 match points in the tiebreaker of the second sets. Nevertheless, he wasn’t able to convert any of them and eventually, he lost the match at the final set tie-break. With this result, Team World obtained an unassailable 13-8 lead and there was no point in even playing the last match.
