Sunday's program at the Laver Cup
In Berlin, the eighth edition of the Laver Cup enters its most decisive phase with the last four matches on the program this Saturday.
Although the European team has done everything in its power to put an end to two years on a diet, the World team is more than holding its own for the time being.
In fact, after 8 matches, John McEnroe's men have won 5 of the 8 and are clearly in the lead (8-4).
So, if they are to avoid a third defeat in a row, Bjorn Borg's men have little choice but to win at least three of the four matches scheduled for Sunday.
Thus, the day will open, at around 12pm, with a double with decisive impact. Carlos Alcaraz and Casper Ruud will take on Ben Shelton and Frances Tiafoe.
Then, the first singles of the day will pit Daniil Medvedev against Ben Shelton, a real clash of opposites and styles.
Then, not before 4 p.m., and if the score still requires it, Alexander Zverev will attempt to dominate a hitherto impressive Frances Tiafoe.
Finally, if neither team has reached the 13-point mark, the competition will conclude with a clash between Carlos Alcaraz and Taylor Fritz.
As a reminder, every win on this final day is worth its weight in gold, as it brings 3 points to the team concerned.
The first team to score a minimum of 13 points wins the Laver Cup.
