Alcaraz and Jódar could be the main protagonists on the final day of the Laver Cup

The Laver Cup 2026 enters its final day after another intense and emotional weekend, especially following what happened on Saturday. Europe started by leading 3-1, but Learner Tien's victory over Flavio Cobolli tied it at 3-3. Then came the surprise of the day with Alex de Miñaur defeating Alexander Zverev, putting the Rest of the World ahead 5-3. But Carlos Alcaraz came to the rescue against Taylor Fritz to equalize at 5-5, and in the doubles match, Casper Ruud and Alexander Zverev put the European team ahead (7-5).

Day 3 lineups at Laver Cup London 2026 are set.

Team World submitted its lineup first with Team Europe matching each selection. Sunday’s matches are worth three points each, with the first team to reach 13 points winning the Laver Cup.#LaverCup #TennisUnrivaled | @UBS pic.twitter.com/qtbo5GGlDM

In these circumstances, the last day of the competition begins, with matches counting for three points each. Therefore, Europe only needs to win the first two matches to be crowned champions. In the first match, which will be a doubles match, Jakub Mensik and Flavio Cobolli will face Alex de Miñaur and Taylor Fritz at 1:00 PM in Spain (12:00 PM in London).

Europe only needs two victories to win the Laver Cup 2026

In the next match, Alexander Zverev would have the first match point to win the Laver Cup 2026 against Learner Tien, although a victory for the Rest of the World in the doubles could give them the lead, and a victory for the American over the German would leave them two points away from glory.

In that case, the third match would be for Carlos Alcaraz, who would also have the opportunity to secure victory for Europe if it hasn’t been achieved before, as long as he defeats Alex de Miñaur in the third match of the day. And the final match of the tie, in case it reaches a point where neither team has reached thirteen points, would be played by Taylor Fritz and Rafael Jódar.
