Some of the biggest names on the ATP Tour are gearing up for the Laver Cup, where Carlos Alcaraz will lead Team Europe in San Francisco as it looks to defend its title against Team World, spearheaded by Taylor Fritz.

This year marks a new era for the competition, held annually since 2017, with fresh leadership on both benches: Yannick Noah takes the helm for Team Europe, while Andre Agassi leads Team World. They’ll be supported by vice captains Tim Henman and Patrick Rafter, respectively.

In the days leading up to Friday’s opening matches, players and captains have been bonding off the court and exploring San Francisco’s sights, including iconic landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz Island.
