Team Europe have secured two major names for their 2027 Laver Cup campaign, with Alexander Zverev and Carlos Alcaraz confirmed for the 10th edition of the tournament in Los Angeles.
The announcement gives Europe an early boost as they prepare to defend their title against Team World at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.
Zverev will continue his long association with the competition, having featured at the Laver Cup since its inaugural edition in Prague in 2017. The German has been part of several successful Team Europe campaigns and remains one of the team's most experienced players.
The 2027 event will mark another opportunity for Zverev to compete alongside some of his biggest rivals in a different team environment. He has described the Laver Cup as one of his favourite weeks of the year, highlighting the intensity of the matches and the experience of sharing a team with players he usually faces on the opposite side of the net.
Alcaraz will also return for his fourth consecutive appearance, bringing his Grand Slam experience and competitive energy to the European side. The Spaniard has enjoyed considerable success on the individual circuit but believes the team format offers a different experience from regular ATP Tour tournaments.
He particularly enjoys supporting his teammates and competing for a shared goal rather than focusing solely on individual results. Alcaraz also expressed his excitement about teaming up with Zverev again as they prepare for the Los Angeles showdown.
The 2027 edition will take place at the Intuit Dome, the home of the NBA's Los Angeles Clippers. The state-of-the-art arena in Inglewood will provide a new setting for the competition as the Laver Cup celebrates its 10th edition.
Team Europe will arrive in Los Angeles following their 13-5 victory over Team World in London in 2026. With Zverev and Alcaraz already confirmed, the European team has made an encouraging start to its title defence.
However, Team World will be determined to challenge for the trophy, setting the stage for another competitive showdown between the two sides.
