After suffering defeats in the first four editions of the global competition, Team World captures a second consecutive Laver Cup championship.
John McEnroe arrived in Vancouver with a bench full of players enjoying some of the best form of their careers.
Their confidence was apparent at the home ground of Rogers Arena. Heading into Day 3 with a commanding 10-2 advantage, Team World needed to win only one match to secure the Cup.
As he had in 2022, Frances Tiafoe featured in the clincher, this time joining 20-year-old rookie Ben Shelton for a 7-6(4) 7-6(5) dismissal of Andrey Rublev and Hubert Hurkacz in doubles.

Roger Federer’s final professional match caps many remarkable moments at the fifth edition of the Laver Cup, won by Team World for the first time.
Emotions were high at Roger Federer’s last tournament, where he contested Friday’s doubles alongside Rafael Nadal for the last time. Team World’s Jack Sock and Frances Tiafoe won the match, leveling the leaderboard 2-2 for the first time in Laver Cup history.
On a see-sawing weekend, Team World entered the final day trailing 8-4, and needing to win three matches. By contrast, Team Europe could close out victory with two wins.
In a tactical masterstroke, Team World Captain John McEnroe opted to play Félix Auger-Aliassime and Jack Sock in Sunday’s opening doubles, and sent the Canadian out against Novak Djokovic in the next match. Auger-Aliassime won both, lifting Team World within striking range of its first Laver Cup title.
Frances Tiafoe beat the former Roland Garros finalist Stefanos Tsitsipas 1-6 7-6(11) 10-8 after saving four match points to give the visitors an ecstatic victory.
