Overview
- Team Europe captain Yannick Noah announced that Casper Ruud fills the final spot on Europe’s six-man squad for the Sept. 25–27 Laver Cup at The O2 in London.
- The full Team Europe roster is Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz, Flavio Cobolli, Jakub Mensik, Rafael Jodar and Casper Ruud, with Jodar the only new addition replacing Holger Rune from last year’s side.
- Team World’s lineup under captain Andre Agassi was confirmed earlier and includes Alex de Minaur, Ben Shelton, Taylor Fritz, Alexander Bublik, Learner Tien and Tommy Paul.
- Ruud arrives as a Laver Cup veteran with a 4-1 singles record and 2-2 doubles record at the event and comes off a season highlighted by a Rome final and runs to the Roland Garros and Australian Open last 16.
- The matchup frames a London rematch after Team World beat Europe 15-9 in 2025, and the stacked rosters plus The O2 setting are expected to drive strong fan interest and media attention ahead of the event.
