Organisers of the 2027 Laver Cup confirmed Tuesday that Spanish world number one Carlos Alcaraz and German star Alexander Zverev will represent Europe at the upcoming edition in Los Angeles.
The pair's early confirmation marks the beginning of roster announcements for the prestigious team event, which pits Europe against the Rest of the World in a three-day tournament format. Both players have established themselves as leading figures in professional tennis, with Alcaraz and Zverev among the sport's most consistent performers on the ATP tour.
Europe has dominated the Laver Cup since its inception, winning six consecutive titles in the competition. The Los Angeles event will provide the team with an opportunity to extend this remarkable record as it competes for a seventh championship.
The Laver Cup, named after Australian tennis legend Rod Laver, has become a flagship team event on the professional tennis calendar. The confirmation of Alcaraz and Zverev signals the start of what is expected to be a strong European contingent for the 2027 tournament.
