Team Europe has taken back the Laver Cup. In Berlin, the Europeans won the tennis competition of the continental teams against a world selection in dramatic fashion with 13:11. 

Alexander Zverev and Carlos Alcaraz turned the tide in the final two singles matches. The German first defeated the American Frances Tiafoe 6:7(5),7:5,10:5, then the Spanish Wimbledon winner defeated Taylor Fritz (USA) 6:2,7:5.

Europe won the seventh edition of the competition, which was initiated by Roger Federer among others, for the fifth time - the first time since 2021. Next year, the Laver Cup will be held in San Francisco.
