The European team was crowned champion of the ninth edition of the Laver Cup held at the 02 Arena in London after Alexander Zverev's victory over Learner Tien secured the Laver Cup title with scores of 7-6(3), 6-3. Thus, another closely matched edition comes to an end, as reflected by the final score (13-5), considering that Sunday matches counted for 3 and Saturday matches for 2.

Moreover, on Saturday the situation was very different. Europe started that day 3-1, but in the blink of an eye, they found themselves 3-5 after the losses in doubles by Jakub Mensik and Flavio Cobolli and Alexander Zverev against Alex De Minaur. However, Carlos Alcaraz leveled the score by defeating Fritz, and the doubles match with Zverev and Ruud ended Saturday with a European lead of 7-5. Today, the victory in doubles by Mensik and Cobolli put the title on a silver platter for Europe (10-5), which Zverev then confirmed (13-5).

From the very beginning, the European team has appeared very united and in high spirits despite being rivals every week. One only needs to see the iconic celebration they had with Yannick Noah, the European team captain. They all gathered in a circle while the Frenchman sang a song, and the rest of the players joined in during the chorus.

 Noah and Agassi revealed Borg and McEnroe as captains of the Laver Cup

Yannick Noah took over the captaincy of the European team last year, while Andre Agassi did the same for the Rest of the World team, succeeding Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe, respectively, who had been the captains of both teams since the first edition of the Laver Cup in 2017.
