Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton resist the aggressions of Alexander Zverev and Carlos Alcaraz to even the score at 2-2 in the overall Laver Cup 2024, concluding its first day with that thrilling draw. The American duo secured the victory with a 7-6(5) and 6-4 in 1 hour and 37 minutes, extinguishing a small flame ignited by the Europeans when reaching the first set tiebreak.

Despite both the European team and the rest of the world team starting off with good pace with strong serves, Taylor and Ben wasted no time in attacking their opponents, finding success on their first opportunity. Carlos' good work at the net was not enough to stop the dynamic opponents who refused to give in at any moment. Just in the most pressured moment of the first set, Sascha and Carlos found the weak points of the Americans to level the score, causing chaos on the other side of the court.

Continuing the momentum from the previous singles match between Grigor Dimitrov and Alejandro Tabilo, the Laver Cup 2024 was once again the stage for another tiebreak. Impenetrable with his serve, Shelton made a statement to claim the first set of an exciting clash characterized by equality.

The rest of the world team returns to square one

Shelton and Fritz showed more daring, taking more risks in their shots, while the Spaniard and the German sought solidity both from the baseline and at the net. The Europeans struggled to establish themselves, conceding ground to a Shelton and a Fritz who continued at full speed, closer to victory. Despite nerves showing, Ben remained steady with his serve to bring the rest of the world team back to a tie.
