Laver Cup: Fonseca closes the gap – but Alcaraz counters in doubles
After Brazilian top talent Joao Fonseca won the first point for the World Team in his singles match against Italy’s Flavio Cobolli, the blond-haired Alcaraz put on a bit of a show and, alongside Mensik, restored the old lead in the doubles against the American duo Taylor Fritz and Alex Michelsen with a 7-6 (9-7) 6:4 to restore the old lead.
On Saturday, there will be three singles and one doubles match again, but now there are two points for each win.
A team must reach 13 points to win the overall title. The Laver Cup ends on Sunday, and in 2026 the competition will take place in London once again.
