Tennis: Laver Cup 2025 San Francisco

19 September 2025 - 21 September 2025

The Laver Cup is an annual men’s tennis team competition that brings together top players from Europe and the rest of the world for a thrilling three-day event. Founded in 2017, the tournament is named in honour of Australian tennis legend Rod Laver, who won two calendar-year grand slams. 

A unique blend of intense competition and camaraderie, the now-annual event is held in late September, after the US Open grand slam, alternating between cities in Europe and other parts of the world. In 2025, the Laver Cup will be played at the Chase Center in San Francisco, California, from 19-21 September. 

The format features two teams: Team Europe and Team World. Each team consists of six players, including the top three ranked players from their respective regions and three captain’s picks. Tennis icons Björn Borg (Team Europe) and John McEnroe (Team World) have captained the teams since the event’s inception, adding a layer of historical rivalry and prestige to the competition. Following the 2024 event in Berlin, which Team Europe won 13-11, it was announced that Borg and McEnroe would be stepping down as captains. They will be replaced by Yannick Noah (Team Europe) and Andre Agassi (Team World). 

The Laver Cup is played on indoor hard courts, with three singles and one doubles match per day. Each match victory earns points for the team, with the point value increasing each day (one point per win on Friday, two points on Saturday, and three on Sunday). The first team to reach 13 points out of a possible 24 is crowned the champion. In the event of a tie, a deciding match is played to determine the winner. This escalating point system creates high drama, making every match crucial to the overall outcome. 

One of the tournament’s most exciting aspects is the doubles competition, often featuring unexpected pairings between top singles players, like when Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal teamed up for Team Europe in the inaugural 2017 edition. With its fast-paced format, elite-level competition, and electrifying atmosphere, the Laver Cup has quickly become one of the most anticipated events on the tennis calendar.
