This will be Zverev’s seventh Laver Cup appearance, the most of any player in the event’s history. He carries a 7-4 record in singles, 2-3 in doubles and has won more career points than any other player.<\/p>\n
Team Europe holds a 5-3 edge over Team World, and Zverev has been a part of all five of Europe\u2019s victories. His first team loss came last year in San Francisco, where he fell to Fritz in the deciding match on Sunday.<\/p>\n
\u201cI always love being part of the Laver Cup,\u201d Zverev said in a statement. \u201cThe team atmosphere is incredible and the intensity is unlike anything else we play all year.\u201d<\/p>\n
Zverev missed the historic 2022 Laver Cup at O2 Arena when Roger Federer played his final ATP match, but the German won the ATP Finals in 2018 in the same building. It is one of two ATP Finals he has won.<\/p>\n
\u201cLondon is a great tennis city and The O2 is one of the most special stadiums in the world for me and has already delivered some unforgettable moments for this event. I\u2019m excited to return and hopefully we can win the title back for Team Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n

De Minaur is making his third Laver Cup appearance and has been part of winning sides in both his appearances in 2022 and last year in San Francisco. De Minaur initially was not going to play in last year\u2019s event, citing fatigue from the season, but he reversed course and became one of Team World\u2019s most valuable contributors. He won a singles match over Zverev and a doubles match on Saturday, then another singles matchon Sunday, which set Fritz up for the winner.<\/p>\n
\u201cLaver Cup is one of the most intense and exciting weeks on the calendar,\u201d de Minaur said in a statement. \u201cPlaying in London in 2022 was a special moment for our team, and San Francisco showed what this group is capable of. I loved playing under Andre last year and I\u2019m really looking forward to getting back out there in London with him and the team.\u201d<\/p>\n
De Minaur is 3-0 all-time in singles at the event, the second-most wins without a loss behind Federer, who was 6-0.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlex is a fierce competitor and the consummate professional,\u201d Agassi said in a statement. \u201cOur week together in San Francisco gave me an even greater appreciation for him and what he brings to the team. I\u2019m extremely excited to have him back for Team World.\u201d<\/p>\n
Each roster has four spots remaining and will be filled through rankings and captains\u2019 picks. Team World has won three of the last four matchups and pulled off an upset last year in Agassi\u2019s first year as captain despite late withdrawals from Ben Shelton (injury), Tommy Paul (injury) and Francis Tiafoe (personal).
