Team World Wins 2025 Laver Cup in San Francisco: Agassi’s First Year as Captain Brings Energy and Redemption

This year’s Laver Cup in San Francisco was full of drama, emotion, and incredible tennis. Team World, led by new captain Andre Agassi, beat Team Europe 15–9 to win the 2025 Laver Cup. It’s their third victory in the last four years, proving that Team World is officially on top right now.

The Laver Cup has a unique format: each win is worth one point on Day 1, two on Day 2, and three on Day 3. This means the matches become increasingly intense as the weekend progresses. Team World had a slow start but managed to fight back and show true dominance over Team Europe.

Day 1: Team Europe Comes Out Strong 

Team Europe came out looking confident and took an early 3–1 lead. Casper Ruud beat Reilly Opelka 6–4, 7–6(4), handling Opelka’s huge serves with consistent returns and precise baseline play unmatched by the 6’11” American.

But Team World didn’t end the day empty-handed. João Fonseca, the youngest member of the team making his Laver Cup debut, earned a 6–4, 6–3 win over Flavio Cobolli. It gave Team World a much-needed boost and a spark heading into Day 2.

Day 2: Team World Turns Up the Heat

If Europe owned Day 1, Team World completely flipped the script on Day 2. They won every single match, collecting all eight points, and jumped ahead 9–3.

Alex de Minaur kicked things off by crushing Alexander Zverev 6–1, 6–4, using his nonstop energy and defense to wear Zverev down. Then, Taylor Fritz shocked everyone by defeating Carlos Alcaraz, the Wimbledon champion, 6–3, 6–2. Fritz played fearless tennis, hitting huge serves and going for every shot.

By the end of the day, with de Minaur and Alex Michelsen also winning in doubles, Team World had all the momentum. They weren’t just competing anymore; they were in control.

Day 3: Fritz Seals the Deal

On the final day, with each match worth three points, Europe tried to fight back. Carlos Alcaraz easily beat Francisco Cerúndolo 6–2, 6–1, giving Europe a bit of hope. However, Team World quickly shut that down. De Minaur handled Jakub Menšik 6-3, 6-4, putting Team World just one win away from taking home the 2025 Laver Cup.

That’s when Fritz stepped up again. Facing Zverev, he stayed calm under pressure and won 6–3, 7–6(4), officially clinching the championship. As he hit the final shot, his teammates rushed the court in celebration. It was a cinematic moment—and the perfect ending to Team World’s dominant run.

Agassi’s Leadership Changes Everything

This Laver Cup wasn’t just about the matches, but rather about Andre Agassi’s leadership. In his first year as captain, Agassi was fired up all weekend, cheering loudly, giving advice, and keeping everyone energized. His presence made a huge difference in bringing them back after a tough day 1. 

Fritz and de Minaur became the heart of the team: Fritz with his clutch wins, and de Minaur with his relentless consistency. Together, they helped forge a new Team World identity: confident, fearless, and ready to take down Team Europe. And that’s exactly what they did.
