Alexander Zverev is set to be one of the protagonists this coming weekend due to the Laver Cup 2025 taking place in the city of San Francisco. The German tennis player, ranked number 3 in the world, will return to competition in this exhibition tournament after his defeat in the third round of the US Open 2025.
In the days leading up to the famous event being held this year in the United States, Alexander spoke in an interview with the organization of the Laver Cup about the tournament, especially regarding how he experiences the atmosphere and his role within Team Europe.
"I've been there since the first year, and already from the first edition held in Prague, the intensity was extremely high. Everyone was very encouraging," Alexander recalled about that first Laver Cup event he attended.
"It's a great moment for me, something I will remember all my life. Winning that match against Tiafoe on the last day was very special to me," Zverev said about last year in Berlin, where his point was crucial in the competition. "The atmosphere is always electric. The fans are very excited about this concept. This year won't be any different in San Francisco."
New faces and the importance of doubles
"We have many new guys, many new faces. I hope to be able to guide them a bit on what the Laver Cup really means and the emotions they will feel on the court. I think it will be very different with Yannick. Success is key, especially in doubles.
Casper, Carlos, and I already discussed a bit about how it will be. I feel like there's a team that really stands out in the European group, and they should definitely play together."
Away from the competitiveness of the circuit
"When do you have the opportunity to have the number three, two, or one in the world with you giving advice? That doesn't normally happen because you want to beat them, but now they are teammates. As I said, it's very special, there's a very different atmosphere than in other tournaments. It's one of the most enjoyable weeks, and I think everyone will enjoy it."
