Five things to Look forward to at Laver Cup San Francisco 2025

After another epic edition of Laver Cup concluded in Berlin, sports fans set their sights on San Francisco and the next chapter of the thrilling team competition. Here are five things to look forward to when the Laver Cup enters its eighth year, bringing together rivals and teammates at the Chase Center from September 19-21, 2025.

1. Making history
Roger Federer’s vision for a global team event honoring Australian tennis legend Rod Laver manifested during a car ride at the Rolex Shanghai Masters with his agent, Tony Godsick, eight years ago. The result was the Laver Cup, an event uniting rivals as teammates, and celebrating Laver’s 11 majors, including two calendar-year Grand Slams (1962,1969). Since Prague 2017, Federer has attended every event, first as a player and winner of three Laver Cups, and more recently as an organizer and supporter, having famously played his last professional match at Laver Cup 2022 in London. As the tournament heads to San Francisco, it continues to carve out its legacy as a premier showcase for the sport. “We’re going to keep building it,” proclaimed Godsick in Berlin. “Our goal is to be like the Ryder Cup.”

2. The stars align
Since its inception, Team Europe and Team World rosters have included the highest-ranked players in tennis, such as multiple Grand Slam winners Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and, in 2024, Carlos Alcaraz. The Spanish sensation has again committed to Team Europe in 2025, while Team World’s lineup will feature No.4-ranked Taylor Fritz. The two squared off in Berlin’s decisive match and are eyeing a rematch at San Francisco’s Chase Center, where the American will have a home-court advantage. Who else will make the cut at Laver Cup San Francisco? Team Europe is poised to assemble a roster of top ten-ranked players while Team World has no shortage of rising talent to choose from.

3. New captains, new era
Laver Cup San Francisco will welcome two new tennis legends to the Captaincy with the departure of Team Europe’s Bjorn Borg and Team World’s John McEnroe. Former French tennis star Yannick Noah will take over for the blue team while eight-time Grand Slam singles champion Andre Agassi steps into the hot seat for the red team. Both men were in Berlin keeping a watchful eye on proceedings, and both will bring their own, unique stamp to the competition. “My hope would be that everybody I spend time with … is better off for the time spent,” said Agassi. Noted Noah: “I’ve seen [today’s players] from afar. We’re going to have to spend some quality time together, and I want them to enjoy their tennis. So many times, players think: ‘If I win, I’ll be happy’. My philosophy is: ‘Be happy first, and you’ll win’.”

4. New city – new experiences
Agassi is also delighted that the Laver Cup is coming to San Francisco when Team World hosts the competition next September, pointing out that this level of tennis has never been seen in the ‘City by the Bay’ and will mean a great deal to the community. “It’s great for the city and I think it’s great for the game, too,” he said. The Laver Cup leaves a legacy wherever it travels, selecting its ballkid squad from local talent and opening its doors to young people and families through the Laver Cup Fan Zone and Open Practice Day.

5. A treat for visitors
San Francisco has many attractions for visitors, including the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman’s Wharf, and Alcatraz Island. Chase Center, home to the seven-time NBA Champion Golden State Warriors, is located in San Francisco’s Mission Bay neighborhood and is surrounded by Thrive City, a dynamic open-air district outside the arena where families, fans and visitors enjoy a variety of free programming, dining and retail experiences, and community events. The 18,064-seat Chase Center is a world-class arena, blending cutting-edge technology, luxury premium seating, and an elevated fan experience.
