Laver Cup live

——- Ticker end ——–

On the first day of the 2024 Laver Cup, the two captains Björn Borg and John McEnroe are using a similar tactic. While each match on the first day only counts for one point, unlike on the two following days, today they are sending numbers 4-6 into the race in the singles according to the world rankings.

That’s why the doubles final of the day is likely to attract the most attention. The two French Open finalists Alexander Zverev and Carlos Alcaraz from Team Europe will compete against the two Americans Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton from Team World. According to experts, the European team is the favorite in the singles, while the “rest of the world” is considered somewhat stronger in the doubles.

The doubles match between Alexander Zverev and Carlos Alcaraz against Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton will be broadcast live on TV on Eurosport and via live stream on Discovery Plus from around 8:30 p.m.
