World No. 13 Casper Ruud will be back to participate in his fifth Laver Cup with Team Europe in September.
Ruud will be a part of the eighth edition of the tournament, which will take place in San Francisco Sept. 19-21 at the Chase Center, home of the Golden State Warriors.
“I love representing Europe, and doing my best for the whole continent, not just my country,” Ruud said in a statement. “The team aspect is unique — getting to play alongside guys who are usually my rivals and to support each other is something we don’t experience often.
“I’m excited to visit San Francisco for the first time. I’m a big Golden State Warriors fan, so playing in Chase Center will be something special.”

Team Europe now has four commitments for their six slots. Ruud joins World No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz, World No. 3 Alexander Zverev and World No. 9 Holger Rune on captain Yannick Noah’s squad in the team competition against Team World.
Andre Agassi is the captain of Team World and also has four commitments. Americans Taylor Fritz (World No. 4), Ben Shelton (World No. 7) and Tommy Paul (World No. 15) will participate on home soil, along with 18-year-old Brazilian phenom Joao Fonseca (World No. 49).
The final two slots for each team, plus potential alternates, will be announced prior to the U.S. Open. Team Europe leads the series 5-2.

Ruud won the Madrid Open in April, defeating Jack Draper in the final, but has struggled in the majors this year. He lost in the second round of the Australian Open and the French Open, and missed Wimbledon with a knee injury. He is playing in the National Bank Open in Toronto this week and is scheduled to play the Cincinnati Open before the U.S. Open.
The Norwegian reached the final of the French Open in 2022 and 2023 and the final of the U.S. Open in 2022.
Ruud is 3-1 in singles in his previous four Laver Cup appearances, beating Americans Reilly Opelka, Jack Sock and Tommy Paul while losing to Francisco Cerundolo. He is also 1-1 in doubles play.
