Team Europe captain Bjorn Borg has named Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Zverev as his latest recruits for the 2024 Laver Cup.
They join Carlos Alcaraz in the squad for the competition, which takes place in Berlin from September 20-22.
“Team Europe is super motivated to win back the Cup in Berlin,” Borg said in a press release. “With Daniil, Sascha and Carlos on my team, I think we have an excellent chance of making that happen. The guys have had an incredible start to the year, and this is a really strong first half of our line-up. I’m thrilled to have these champions in the fold for 2024.”
Both have won the competition before – Medvedev in 2021, and Zverev in each of the first tour editions, in Prague (2017), Chicago (2018), Geneva (2019), and Boston (2021).
“I’m so excited about returning to Laver Cup,” Zverev added in the press release. “The atmosphere is always electric and for the Laver Cup to be at home in Germany, for me in particular, is going to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
“Team World has won the last two Laver Cups so we are highly motivated to bring the Cup back to Europe and hopefully, with the support of the local fans, we can do it on home soil.”
Medvedev added: “For me, the most exciting thing about Laver Cup is always the team spirit, because it’s very rare that I get to play team competitions in tennis. Having Carlos and Sascha on our team will help a lot because they are two of the best players in the world and I’m really excited to try and get Team Europe back to their winning ways.”
