Alex de Minaur has joined Team World’s lineup for this year’s Laver Cup, replacing American Frances Tiafoe. The Laver Cup takes place 19-21 September at the Chase Center in San Francisco.
De Minaur made his debut for Team World at the 2022 Laver Cup. Team World won its first title that year in London, followed by another victory in Vancouver in 2023. This year, Team World will be led by Andre Agassi, who is replacing John McEnroe as the new captain.
“It’s an honour to join Captain Agassi and Team World in San Francisco next week,” said De Minaur, who holds a 1-0 record at the competition. “My first Laver Cup back in 2022 in London was an incredible experience and I will be ready to give it everything I’ve got to help the team lift the Laver Cup at Chase Center.”
Team World’s roster will now feature three Americans: Taylor Fritz, Alex Michelsen and Reilly Opelka, alongside Australian De Minaur, #NextGenATP Brazilian Joao Fonseca, and Argentine Francisco Cerundolo.
“We will miss Frances’ energy and game in San Francisco,” said Agassi. “However, we couldn’t be more thrilled to add one of the best and most in-form players in the world to our team. I’ve admired the way Alex plays and competes from afar and now look forward to having a front row seat to watching him perform.”
De Minaur, No. 8 in the PIF ATP Rankings, holds a 41-16 season record, according to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index. He has reached the quarter-finals at six of the last eight Grand Slams, including this year’s Australian Open and US Open. He clinched his first title of the season at the ATP 500 event in Washington in July.
