The Laver Cup, which is an international indoor hard court event, has often featured highly competitive tennis showdowns between some of the elite players on the ATP Tour. Team Europe, which is composed of players from different countries on the particular continent, has dominated the competition ever since its inaugural edition. The past two editions, however, did not go well for them, as they ended up tasting consecutive defeats at the hands of Team World.

In light of their recent lackluster campaigns, Team Europe now looks to have left no stone unturned for the next season. Joining the side captioned by Bjorn Borg, the Spanish tennis sensation Carlos Alcaraz has now been announced as a debutant to join the quest to take back the crown in Berlin.
