Tennis Olympians, grand slam winners and all-around stars of the sport will converge in Berlin for the 2024 Laver Cup in a Team World vs. Team Europe matchup.
Named after tennis legend Rod Laver and envisioned by Roger Federer, the seventh edition of the Laver Cup features the best European players competing against the rest of the world's top stars.
Despite a late withdrawal from Rafael Nadal, Team Europe boasts a strong lineup including 2024 Wimbledon and French Open winner Carlos Alcaraz, new world No. 2 Alexander Zverev and 2024 US Open quarterfinalist Grigor Dimitrov. The team is led by captain and six-time French Open champion Bjorn Borg.
Seven-time grand slam winner John McEnroe will captain the defending champion Team World, which features multiple American stars. Taylor Fritz, coming off a US Open finals appearance, Frances Tiafoe in his fifth Laver Cup appearance and Ben Shelton, who secured six of Team World's 13 points last year, are some of the team members.
Will Team World get its third straight victory in the Laver Cup, or will Team Europe return to their original dominance in the competition?
Here's everything you need to know to watch the 2024 Laver Cup in Berlin.

Laver Cup format, explained
The Laver Cup is a team event in which the best tennis players in Europe are measured against the best in the rest of the world, with the winner being the first team to get to 13 points.
How do you get those points? With victories in the matches.
Each day three singles matches and one doubles match are played, to the best of three sets with the last being disputed as a 10-point tiebreak match format.
Friday's wins are worth one point, Saturday's two points and Sunday's three points - which ensures that no team can become champion before the last day.
All players play at least one singles match between Friday and Saturday and at least four of them participate in doubles.
In the event that only one match is required on Sunday, an exhibition match will be played following the trophy ceremony.
