Alcaraz wants 'Vendetta' at the Laver Cup
Carlos Alcaraz is already in London for the Laver Cup 2026, where he will be the major attraction for 'Team Europe' as they aim to reclaim the title after a 2025 in which 'Team Rest of the World' took the crown won in 2024. In fact, that is the main focus for the Spanish tennis player, who wants 'Vendetta' and to bring the title back to Europe in a competition where they will play as hosts.
Last year, the Spanish player played two matches in the singles draw, losing one to Taylor Fritz and winning another against Francisco Cerúndolo. In the decisive match, Fritz himself defeated Alexander Zverev and gave the title to his team after a brilliant performance. Therefore, the Spanish tennis player acknowledged upon arriving in the English capital that "I come to do everything possible to bring the title back to Europe. We failed last year, so we will do everything we can to reclaim the trophy", he concluded.
Zverev, a dream ally for Alcaraz
He couldn’t have a better team, as he will have players of the caliber of Alexander Zverev, Rafa Jódar, Casper Ruud, Flavio Cobolli, or Jakub Mensik to overcome a team that will feature Taylor Fritz, Alex de Miñaur, Francisco Cerúndolo, Learner Tien, Brandon Nakashima, and Alexander Bublik.
At first glance, 'Team Europe' is the clear favorite to lift the title in London, but in a tournament like this, you can never count anyone out. Players like Zverev come with a lot of physical strain from the past weeks, and it is important to remember that Alcaraz has only played the US Open in the last 5 months. Therefore, the matches will be very closely contested, decided by details, and Alcaraz aims to maintain his rhythm for the final stretch of the season.
