If Team Europe wants to end their losing streak at this year’s Laver Cup, Casper Ruud’s experience will be crucial. The Norwegian holds an unbeaten 3-0 record in the tournament, with wins over Reilly Opelka, Jack Sock, and Tommy Paul.
Ruud, currently ranked No. 9 in the world, recently reached the fourth round of the US Open, where he lost to Taylor Fritz. He aims to give his team a strong start against Francisco Cerundolo.
Cerundolo, making his second Laver Cup appearance, won his debut match against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, helping Team World take a 2-0 lead. The Argentine, ranked No. 31, is eager to secure another victory to boost his team’s chances of winning the tournament for the third year in a row, despite some recent inconsistent form.
