Alexander Zverev and Alex de Minaur have confirmed that they will represent Team Europe and Team World respectively at the ninth edition of the Laver Cup, which will be held at The O2 in London from September 25 to 27, 2026.

Zverev and De Minaur join the No. 1 player in the PIF ATP Rankings, Carlos Alcaraz (Team Europe) and Taylor Fritz (Team World) in the competition.

Zverev, a six-time Laver Cup participant and the event’s all-time top scorer, returns to London with unfinished business after last year’s defeat in San Francisco – the first Laver Cup defeat of his career. The German was previously part of Team Europe’s title-winning squads in Prague (2017), Chicago (2018), Geneva (2019), Boston (2021) and Berlin (2024).

Zverev also returns to London, a city where he has achieved significant success, including winning the Nitto ATP Finals at The O2 in 2018. He made a good start to his 2026 season, reaching the semifinals of the Australian Open (left of Alcaraz).

“I always enjoy being part of the Laver Cup,” said Zverev. “The team atmosphere is incredible and the intensity is unlike anything else we play all year round. London is a great tennis city and the O2 for me is one of the most special stadiums in the world and has already provided some unforgettable moments for this event. I’m happy to return and hopefully we can win the title back for Team Europe.”

De Minaur, Team World’s top-ranked player and winner of last week’s ATP 500 event in Rotterdam, will compete in his third Laver Cup. After being part of Team World’s first title win in London in 2022, he played a crucial role again last year in San Francisco, winning all three of his matches to secure another win for Team World.

“Laver Cup is one of the most intense and exciting weeks on the calendar,” said de Minaur. “Playing in London in 2022 was a special moment for our team and San Francisco showed what this group is capable of. I loved playing under Andre Agassi last year and I’m really looking forward to going to London with him and the team again.”
