LONDON : Casper Ruud completed Team Europe’s roster for this year’s Laver Cup on Monday, with the Norwegian joining a star-studded line-up for the team competition against Team World at London’s O2 Arena.
World number 13 Ruud will team up with French Open champion Alexander Zverev, seven-time Grand Slam winner Carlos Alcaraz, Italy’s Flavio Cobolli, Czech rising star Jakub Mensik and Spain’s Rafael Jodar for the Sept. 25-27 event.
The 26-year-old will make his sixth consecutive appearance in the tournament.
“Casper is exactly the type of player you want on your team,” Team Europe captain Yannick Noah said.
“He’s a fantastic competitor, a great teammate and someone who really embraces what the Laver Cup is all about.
“We were disappointed not to win last year, but that’s given us more motivation.”
The Laver Cup was last staged in London in 2022, when Swiss great Roger Federer played the final competitive match of his career alongside Rafa Nadal in the doubles.
Team World, captained by Andre Agassi, will feature Australia’s Alex de Minaur, Americans Ben Shelton, Taylor Fritz, Learner Tien and Tommy Paul, along with Kazakhstan’s Alexander Bublik.
