London hosts Laver Cup for a second time as ninth edition opens September 25

The Big Lead

The ninth Laver Cup starts in London on September 25, with Team Europe and Team World playing through September 27. Europe leads their all-time series 5-3, but defending champion Team World won the 2025 edition. Day 1 is set for three singles and one doubles match.

Day 1 singles pairings are Jakub Mensik vs. Brandon Nakashima, Casper Ruud vs. Francisco Cerundolo, and Rafael Jodar vs. Alexander Bublik. Mensik and Carlos Alcaraz are set to face Bublik and Taylor Fritz in doubles.

Team World is captained by Andre Agassi, with Patrick Rafter as vice captain; Yannick Noah and Tim Henman lead Europe as captain and vice captain. Players earn no ranking points at the event, which will air on Tennis Channel from September 25–27. London also hosted the Laver Cup in 2022, making it the first location to host the event twice.
