Alcaraz Sinner Zverev

On the eve of the 2025 Laver Cup, Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev are preparing to be the leaders of Team Europe. The German shared his admiration for the Spaniard and Jannik Sinner, highlighting the need for greater competition for the two men who continue to dominate world tennis.

The 2025 Laver Cup, organized in San Francisco, starts this Friday. Present to represent Team Europe, Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev will try to lead their team to victory.

In a press conference before the start of the matches in the American city, the German was asked about Sinner and Alcaraz's superiority on the ATP circuit, and hopes that they will have more competition in the coming months, while mentioning the historic final at Roland-Garros between the two men (4-6, 6-7, 6-4, 7-6, 7-6 in 5h30 for the Spaniard).

"The Roland-Garros final between Carlos (Alcaraz) and Jannik (Sinner) was something unprecedented in this sport, if only for the speed of their shots. The way they played tennis that day...

Of course, we have had great champions face off over the past 15 years and the Big 3 has offered us unforgettable matches, but the style of play these two proposed in Paris was something I had never seen before.

They are clearly ahead of the others, and our duty is to work hard to try to catch up to them. This year, no one has succeeded. Hopefully, someone will succeed next season," Zverev assured to Punto de Break in recent hours.
