Team Europe won the Laver Cup in London on September 27, 2026, reaching the required 13 points when Alexander Zverev defeated Learner Tien 7–6 (7–3), 6–3. Team World finished with five points.
Europe entered the final day leading 7–5. With each September 27 match worth three points, two victories were enough to settle the competition.
Flavio Cobolli and Jakub Mensik supplied the first, beating Alex de Minaur and Taylor Fritz 7–5, 6–3 in doubles. Zverev then won his singles match in one hour and 48 minutes, according to the tournament’s official results.
The two wins added six points to Europe’s overnight total. The remaining scheduled singles matches, Carlos Alcaraz against De Minaur and Rafa Jodar against Fritz, were not played because Europe had already secured the title.
The result completed the three-day event at London’s O2 Arena. The Guardian’s match report was checked against the Laver Cup’s official score records, which confirm both deciding matches and the final-day points awarded.
