This year’s Laver Cup runs Sept 19–21, 2025 at the Chase Center in San Francisco, and for the first time the two sides will be led by Yannick Noah (Team Europe) and Andre Agassi (Team World)—both making high-profile captain debuts that could reshape pairings and strategy. Remember: the event’s points escalate across the three days (1 / 2 / 3 points per match), so a Sunday sweep can overturn an earlier deficit—which makes captain calls on doubles and late substitutions especially decisive this year.

Tennis as we know it? Yeah, it’s come a long way. The game roots back to 12th-century France, where it was originally played with just the hands, no rackets at all! It was called “jeu de paume,” which literally means “game of the palm.” Eventually, gloves made the job a bit easier, then wooden paddles came along, and by the 16th century, rackets entered the scene, turning the game into the fast-paced sport we know today. |
