The Italian successfully defended his title in Melbourne as the Spaniard did the same in Paris, with their London and New York trophies swapping hands.<\/p>\n
This year alone, they met in three of the four Grand Slam finals, along with the finals in Rome and Cincinnati.<\/p>\n
It was Alcaraz who stole the bragging rights, winning four of their five meetings in 2025 and taking over Sinner as ATP<\/a> number one after the US Open.<\/p>\n Such dominance has not been seen in men\u2019s tennis since the days of Federer<\/a>, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.<\/p>\n And one part of the Big Three has now shared his verdict on the current superstars, with Federer saying on Tennis Channel: \u201cI mean, I think we all knew that they were going to be good, that they were maybe going to be great, most likely.<\/p>\n \u201cBut we didn\u2019t expect, I think, this kind of dominance right out of the gates. It\u2019s really impressive, I must admit.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Laver Cup 2025: Players, rules, how to watch and everything you need to know<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cAnd it\u2019s amazing for the game. I think that they play back-to-back-to-back-to-back finals against each other with French, Wimby, Cincy, US.<\/p>\n \u201cThese are the biggest stages in our sport that we have. So, I mean, they\u2019ve made a name for themselves. And now, obviously it begs the next question, who\u2019s going to be the next guy?<\/p>\n \u201cWe know that Novak\u2019s doing what he\u2019s doing. He\u2019s on a legendary career already but you know who\u2019s going to be the next guy who wants to join that elite group.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s going to be hard and it\u2019s going to take some time and it\u2019s the question also how long can they keep doing this because it\u2019s not easy. I\u2019ve been there, it\u2019s hard, and they\u2019re making it look very easy. So, really, really impressive.\u201d<\/p>\n Roger Federer suggests where future Laver Cups will be held after London 2026<\/p>\n Federer is among those getting to watch Alcaraz\u2019s latest efforts up close, with the latter representing Team Europe at the Laver Cup.<\/p>\n He won his doubles opener with Jakub Mensik in San Francisco, defeating Taylor Fritz and Alex Michelsen.<\/p>\n But Fritz recovered to win his singles clash with Alcaraz, with the third and final day now arriving at the Chase Center.<\/p>\n And Federer, who created the tournament, has now shared insight into future venues following its return to London next year.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cClearly the goal was to play in places that maybe don\u2019t get to see tennis so often. So I think we did that here in San Francisco.<\/p>\n \u201cSame for Berlin, same for Vancouver. Obviously we\u2019re going back to London, where they see tons of tennis.<\/p>\n \u201cBut Europe is for big arenas. It\u2019s not so easy to find like here in North America or around the world. But that was the idea, to travel with the Laver Cup.<\/p>\n \u201cBut it\u2019s hard as we built out this stadium in an incredible way, just for three days. The work that goes in from the team is tremendous.<\/p>\n \u201cBut I\u2019m happy that everything that I\u2019ve had in my vision together with Tony came true and more. So let\u2019s see what goes after London.<\/p>\n \u201cBecause in the beginning, the idea was to have it more in North America because of the player schedule.<\/p>\n \u201cBut Asia also probably would be not a bad move because of all the players now going to Asia right after. I would go to South America if I think, imagine this in South America with Joao [Fonseca] on the team or something. Oh my god.<\/p>\n \u201cAnyway, look, we unfortunately have one Laver Cup once a year, but a lot of thoughts, and I\u2019m happy that a lot of cities are already wanting to have the Laver Cup in their place now, which was not obviously the case in the beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n YearWinnerScoreRunner-upLocationVenue2017Team Europe15\u20139Team WorldPrague, Czech RepublicO2 Arena2018Team Europe13\u20138Team WorldChicago, United StatesUnited Center2019Team Europe13\u201311Team WorldGeneva, SwitzerlandPalexpo2021Team Europe14\u20131Team WorldBoston, United StatesTD Garden2022Team World13\u20138Team EuropeLondon, United KingdomThe O2 Arena2023Team World13\u20132Team EuropeVancouver, CanadaRogers Arena2024Team Europe13\u201311Team WorldBerlin, GermanyUber Arena2025\u2013San Francisco, United StatesChase Center2026\u2013London, United KingdomThe O2 ArenaEntire Laver Cup history<\/p>\n A home Laver Cup for Brazilian star Fonseca is an exciting prospect, but his current focus is on helping Team World clinch success this time around.<\/p>\n The teenager, who enjoys a huge following, shone on his Laver Cup debut with a singles win over Flavio Cobolli.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have continued their dominance on the ATP Tour in 2025, sharing the four…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":35118,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[32810,11912,11913,32811,111,139,69,32812,213],"class_list":{"0":"post-35117","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-atp","9":"tag-carlos-alcaraz","10":"tag-jannik-sinner","11":"tag-laver-cup","12":"tag-new-zealand","13":"tag-newzealand","14":"tag-nz","15":"tag-roger-federer","16":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35117","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35117"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35117\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35118"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35117"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35117"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35117"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Spain's](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/GettyImages-2233665973-1024x678.jpg\")
