Two of tennis’s fiercest competitors will join forces for Team Europe in Los Angeles in 2027. Grand Slam champions Alexander Zverev and Carlos Alcaraz will reunite as teammates at the 10th edition of the Laver Cup, with the pair the first players confirmed for the lineup at Intuit Dome.
World No.1 Zverev and No.3 Alcaraz are accustomed to competing against each other for the biggest prizes in tennis. At Laver Cup, they will once again put that rivalry aside in pursuit of a common goal: bringing the trophy home for Team Europe, again.
They first became teammates in Berlin in 2024, where Alcaraz made a winning debut. They continued in San Francisco in 2025 and enjoyed further success at The O2 in London this year under the captaincy of Yannick Noah, and vice-captain, Tim Henman.
Zverev’s Laver Cup journey
For Zverev, Laver Cup has been a constant throughout his career. He joined the competition as an emerging 20-year-old, sharing a team room with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in the early editions, and has since established himself as the highest-point scorer [26] across seven campaigns. A six-time winner with Team Europe – suffering his only loss in San Francisco – the 29-year-old has been central to the team’s success across multiple generations of players.
“The first time I played Laver Cup, I was 20 years old, and I had Federer and Nadal as teammates,” Zverev said. ” I don’t think I said one word, and the rest of the team didn’t say one word. We’re all sitting there with an open mouth listening.”
“Where now, I’m the oldest guy on the team, so it’s a little bit different,” he said.
