Day 2 of the 2025 Laver Cup saw Team World fight back from the 1-3 deficit that they had fallen to on Day 1. Alex de Minaur, in particular, was instrumental in the two-time champions' taking a 9-3 lead on Saturday (September 20).

Team World's top-ranked player, Taylor Fritz, arrived at his marquee singles encounter against reigning US Open champion Carlos Alcaraz with a chip on his shoulder. The American had surrendered his last three ATP Tour-level matches to the Spaniard, including a straight-set loss in their Laver Cup winner-takes-all Day 3 shootout last year.

This time around, though, Fritz put together a stunning performance, winning 80% of his first-serve points and breaking Alcaraz thrice to register a 6-3, 6-2 win in one hour and 12 minutes. With his victory, the World No. 5 improved to a 5-2 singles win/loss record at the competition.

Alex de Minaur has been a man on a mission at this year's Laver Cup. The Aussie pulled double duty on Day 2 in phenomenal fashion, getting his third career win against Team Europe veteran Alexander Zverev before teaming up with Alex Michelsen to secure another two points for Team World.

De Minaur first got off the blocks by blanking Zverev 6-1, 6-4 in one hour and 30 minutes, marking the first time in their rivalry that he has defeated the German without the loss of a set. The 26-year-old then didn't drop serve in his doubles fixture partnering Alex Michelsen as the duo beat Casper Ruud and Holger Rune 6-3, 6-4 to help Team World mount a 9-3 lead at the three-day event.

Francisco Cerundolo, meanwhile, was Team World's silent hero on Saturday as he improved to a 3-0 win/loss record in singles matches at the Laver Cup. The Argentinian has secured four points for the 2022-23 title winners across three editions of the competition (2023-25).

Cerundolo began his singles match against debutant Holger Rune on a strong note before saving a set point in the second set to eventually win 6-3, 7-6(5) in just over two hours. Rune, meanwhile, left Day 2 with his head between his shoulders, as he dropped both his singles and doubles matches.
