Preparations are well underway for the 2025 edition of the Laver Cup.
This year, the planet’s best tennis players will head to San Francisco’s Chase Center for an action-packed weekend.
Unlike traditional tournaments, competitors are not just picked based on ATP rankings alone.
Here’s how the selection process works.

How do players qualify for the Laver Cup?
A total of 12 players – six per team – will compete in the Laver Cup this year.
Six spots will automatically be awarded to the three highest-ranked players on each team the day after the Roland-Garros men’s singles final.
The remaining six slots are ‘captain’s picks’, which must be decided before the US Open begins.
For 2025, the captains are Yannick Noah (Europe) and Andre Agassi (World).
2025 Laver Cup team rosters
This year, each Laver Cup roster will comprise six players.

Team World
- Taylor Fritz

- João Fonseca
Team Europe
