With the future of the event in his hands, Carlos Alcaraz had to step onto the court under the pressure of his entire team, just one day after showing some weaknesses in his defeat against Taylor Fritz. There was no room for maneuver for the world number one, who chose drop shots to unsettle Fran Cerúndolo in their clash at the Laver Cup 2025.
In complete contrast to his first singles match in San Francisco, the Spanish tennis player took control of the match and never let go. He punished the Argentine from every angle, and although the American player tried to bring some excitement to the match, he could say little in a set that was dominated entirely by Carlitos.
Another break quickly favored the recent US Open champion, confirming his significant advantage over his opponent, who could do little to stop him. Steering with his forehand from the baseline, aggressive on his returns, and confident in his array of shots.

Cerúndolo's constant errors offered no respite to the Argentine, who had minimal space to maneuver with his tennis, completely neutralized by a Carlos who never dropped the pace. Like a steamroller, the world number one asserted his dominance with a final score of 6-2 and 6-1. Despite Alcaraz's victory, the European team must win the next match to force the decider (in doubles).
