On the eve of the 2025 Laver Cup, Team Europe and Team World gathered for the traditional pre-tournament photo shoot, dressed in sharp tailored suits and ready to kick off the weekend in style. The Chase Center in San Francisco provided a dramatic backdrop as players from both sides posed for the cameras, blending elegance with competitive energy. “It’s always special to be part of this moment—it sets the tone for everything that follows,” said Alexander Zverev, who returns to Team Europe with experience and confidence.
Captains lead with charisma and pride
Yannick Noah and Andre Agassi, captains of Team Europe and Team World respectively, joined their squads for the shoot, bringing their own flair and legacy to the occasion. Noah, in his first year at the helm, looked relaxed and focused, while Agassi embraced the spotlight with his trademark charm. “This team has the talent and the hunger—we’re here to make a statement,” said Agassi, as his players lined up in matching red suits.
Players embrace the moment off the court
The photo shoot has become a signature tradition of the Laver Cup, offering fans a glimpse of the players outside their competitive routines. Carlos Alcaraz, Holger Rune, Casper Ruud, and Jakub Menšík represented Team Europe with poise, while Taylor Fritz, Alex de Minaur, Francisco Cerundolo, and Reilly Opelka brought energy to Team World’s lineup. “It’s fun to dress up and stand alongside your teammates before the real battle begins,” said Fritz, who leads Team World into the weekend.
A celebration of unity and rivalry
Though the suits may be uniform, the rivalry remains fierce. The Laver Cup thrives on the contrast between the two teams, and this moment of unity before the matches begin highlights the respect and camaraderie that define the event. “We’re competitors, but we’re also part of something bigger—this is tennis at its most global and most stylish,” said Cerundolo, who returns for his third Laver Cup appearance.
All eyes on San Francisco
With the official photo now released and the players suited and booted, the stage is set for three days of high-stakes tennis. The Chase Center is ready, the fans are arriving, and the teams are locked in. As the lights dim and the matches begin, the elegance of the opening shoot will give way to intensity on the court—but for now, the Laver Cup 2025 begins with a touch of class.
