Sun Sep 22 05:51:33 UTC 2024: ## Team World Dominates Laver Cup Day 2, Two Wins Away from Championship
**Berlin, Germany** – Team World stormed through Saturday’s action at the Laver Cup, taking three out of four matches and securing an 8-4 lead heading into the final day. The team, sporting their signature red uniforms, is now just two victories away from a third consecutive championship title.
The day’s highlights included a thrilling upset in the singles matches. Frances Tiafoe, ranked 16th in the world, overcame a set deficit to defeat former US Open champion Daniil Medvedev in a tiebreak. In another closely contested match, Taylor Fritz proved too strong for Alexander Zverev, who admitted to feeling under the weather.
Team World’s dominance was solidified in the doubles match, where Ben Shelton and Alejandro Tabilo delivered a comprehensive 6-1 6-2 victory over Casper Ruud and Stefanos Tsitsipas. Shelton, who lost a tight singles match earlier in the day, was determined to make amends.
The victory in the doubles match, paired with the singles upsets, shifted the momentum firmly in favor of Team World. However, Team Europe, wearing their blue uniforms, can still claim victory by winning all three singles matches on Sunday.
“It’s going to be a tough battle tomorrow,” said Team World captain John McEnroe. “But we’ve got a lot of confidence going into the final day.”
Sunday’s action begins at 12.00 local time with the doubles match, followed by up to three singles matches. The appearance of any specific player is not guaranteed and is subject to change without notice.
