John McEnroe will serve as Team World Captain for the final time at the 2024 Laver Cup, and he’s hoping Carlos Alcaraz underperforms to give his team a better shot at victory.
This year’s Laver Cup is significant for several reasons. For the first time, Team World has the opportunity to win the event for the third consecutive year, following their inaugural win in London two years ago and their victory last year. They aim to close the gap on Team Europe’s record of four consecutive wins.
As it will be his last appearance as captain, McEnroe is eager to end on a high note with another win. He believes his team has a strong chance, with several players in excellent form.
Taylor Fritz, who recently reached the US Open final, is the highest-ranked player on the team. Additionally, Frances Tiafoe and Ben Shelton have also been performing well, making McEnroe optimistic about their prospects.
