Laver Cup 2017 - Team Europe (Prague, Czech Republic)

The inaugural edition of the Laver Cup was held in Prague, where Team Europe set the tone for what would become their dominance in the early years. Led by captain Bjorn Borg and featuring tennis icons like Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, Team Europe edged out Team World with a 15-9 win.

One of the highlights was Federer and Nadal pairing up for a historic doubles match, a moment cherished by tennis fans worldwide. Their collaboration on the court showcased the true spirit of the event, where fierce rivals became teammates for the first time.

Laver Cup 2018 - Team Europe (Chicago, USA)

Team Europe retained their crown in the second edition, held in Chicago. Once again, it was Roger Federer who played a key role in securing the 13-8 victory.

He teamed up with Alexander Zverev in crucial doubles matches, and his singles win over John Isner proved pivotal. The strategic brilliance of Bjorn Borg and the star power of Federer, Novak Djokovic, and Zverev ensured that Team Europe held onto the trophy for another year.

Laver Cup 2019 - Team Europe (Geneva, Switzerland)

The third Laver Cup in 2019 brought the tournament to Federer's home country, Switzerland, and Team Europe did not disappoint the local crowd. They claimed a nail-biting 13-11 victory in what was arguably the closest contest in Laver Cup history. The competitive edge and intensity on display in Geneva became the hallmark of this edition.

Laver Cup 2021 - Team Europe (Boston, USA)

After a year's break due to the pandemic, the Laver Cup returned in 2021, with Team Europe once again asserting its dominance. In Boston, they delivered a commanding performance, defeating Team World 14-1.

The European lineup, featuring Daniil Medvedev, Andrey Rublev, and Stefanos Tsitsipas, left little room for their opponents to breathe. This victory marked their fourth consecutive triumph, highlighting the growing gap between the two teams at the time.

Laver Cup 2022 - Team World (London, UK)

In 2022, Team World finally broke Europe's stranglehold on the Laver Cup, claiming their first-ever title with a stunning 13-8 victory in London. Under the guidance of John McEnroe, Team World capitalized on key performances from Frances Tiafoe and Felix Auger-Aliassime. The victory signaled a new era of competition between the two sides.

Team World proved that their 2022 win wasn't a fluke by defending their title in 2023 with another strong performance. In Vancouver, they won 13-7, thanks to standout displays from Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe.

Fritz, in particular, was in stellar form, securing key wins that helped his team secure back-to-back titles. The 2023 edition saw Team World displaying remarkable cohesion and hunger, turning the tide in this once Europe-dominated competition.
