Alcaraz says team events bring back ‘joy’ of tennis
Carlos Alcaraz was in a positive mood on the eve of the Laver Cup, saying he relished being part of a team in a sport dominated by individual competition.
Carlos Alcaraz, the world number three, spoke about the positive impact of team events in tennis during the Laver Cup challenge in London. The three-day tournament, which takes place at the O2 Arena from Friday, brings back the joy of the sport for Alcaraz as he prepares to lead Europe's effort against Team World. The European team features Alcaraz alongside US Open champion Alexander Zverev, while Team World includes Australia's Alex de Minaur and former Grand Slam finalist Taylor Fritz.
Alcaraz, who returned to action at the US Open after a four-month injury lay-off, attributes his love for team events to the fun experienced on and off the court. He explained that these events help him maintain his enthusiasm for tennis and prepare for individual tournaments. Zverev, currently chasing the world number one spot, is putting his individual goals aside during the Laver Cup, focusing solely on the team's goal of lifting the trophy and bringing it back to Europe.
