The PERFECT start for Alcaraz and Ruud 💪

Team Europe's Carlos Alcaraz and Casper Ruud break the set with a perfectly timed volley against Ben Shelton and Frances Tiafoe during Laver Cup 2024.

Welcome to the official Laver Cup YouTube channel. The event takes place every year, the second week after the US Open and the location rotates between Europe and the rest of the world cities. The eighth edition of Laver Cup will be held in San Francisco’s Chase Center from September 19-21, 2025. Team Europe are the reigning champions after defeating Team World in Berlin. Each team is comprised of six players and led by a team captain, who is a legend of the sport. Each match win is worth one point on Friday, two points on Saturday and three points on Sunday. The first team to reach 13 points out of a total 24 points available wins the title. If the points are tied at 12:12 at the end of all matches, a fifth match (Decider) on Sunday is played to determine the winner.

They looked like they've been playing together for years: the movement, court coverage was excellent.

Alcaraz's volley and drop shot volley are amazing 😍

Alcaraz put a 🔥 underneath Ruud and raised his tennis level.

In this match Alcaraz made two volleys for history, this is one of them, but the other one is even better 😊.

Tiafoe didn’t put away the first 2 volleys, then forgot to hit a smash, then couldn’t keep a defensive backhand away from the net player 😭😭

Now that's a solid dubs point... Not singles with a net spectator! Love seeing it! Lost art these days...

Evidently, the World is North America (U.S. and Canada), most years.

Veo en Carlitos un jugador normal, con algunos destellos como en todo tenista pero no veo genialidades sino gritos de euforia exagerados

Btw this is the most stupid and boring cup ever.
