Champions Training at the Laver Cup

The Laver Cup 2026 is about to begin, this time at the O2 Arena in London, where Roger Federer retired four years ago, and this year it will once again feature one of the top figures, or the top one, in the world of tennis: Carlos Alcaraz. However, this year he will compete in popularity with the newly crowned US Open champion and winner of two Grand Slams this year: Alexander Zverev.

In fact, this morning they left a curious dialogue in which Alcaraz couldn't believe the celebration year of Alexander Zverev's US Open title. But after chatting and catching up, they both put on their work gear and practiced together on an indoor hard court, which will be the trend for the rest of the season, except for the Asian tour that is played outdoors.

Alcaraz and Zverev will be the main representatives of the European team in the Laver Cup

Alcaraz and Zverev rallied together over a weekend when they will once again share a team, aiming for Europe to regain the title lost last year against the rest of the world. One must go back to that epic semifinal match at the Australian Open this year when a cramping Alcaraz managed to hold on to eventually claim victory and a few days later lift his last Grand Slam.

However, the current Zverev is nothing like the one at the beginning of the year. Completely psychologically unlocked, he is at the best moment of his career and could even threaten the number one of Jannik Sinner, who has yet to debut in Roger Federer's Laver Cup.

In this edition, the European team will consist of Alcaraz, Zverev, Jódar, Cobolli, Mensik, Ruud, and Fery as a substitute. Meanwhile, the rest of the world team comprises Taylor Fritz, Alex de Miñaur, Alexander Bublik, Brandon Nakashima, Learner Tien, Frances Tiafoe, and Ignacio Buse, as an alternative.
