Match info

The seventh edition of the Laver Cup, a men’s tennis event involving teams from Europe and the rest of the world (Team Europe vs. Team World), is taking place this week. All three matchdays begin at 1 p.m. local time, starting on Friday, September 20, and running through Sunday, September 22 at Berlin’s Uber Arena in Germany.

Once they are released on the tennis betting sites, we’re pretty sure that the 2024 Laver Cup odds will undoubtedly show that one side is heavily favored to win, but there’s always more to a tale, and we’ll discuss that as well. Continue reading for our comprehensive international indoor hard court men’s team tennis tournament prediction, along with an analysis of each team’s chances of success.

Meeting statistics

The current form of Team Europe

The following players will compete for Team Europe in 2024:

• Alexander Zverev (2)
• Carlos Alcaraz (3)
• Daniil Medvedev (5)
• Casper Ruud (9)
• Grigor Dimitrov (10)
• Stefanos Tsitsipas (12)
• Team Captain: Björn Borg

As obvious, the European team has a strong roster, which is to be expected given their heavy desire to return the trophy to the “Old Continent”. This year, Alcaraz will be competing for the first time, and elite players like Zverev and Medvedev will support him. Rafael Nadal was also supposed to play, but he backed out. This will be team captain Borg’s last event in this role; Yannick Noah will take his position in the upcoming edition of the tournament.

The current form of Team World

The following players will compete for Team World in 2024:

• Taylor Fritz (7)
• Frances Tiafoe (16)
• Ben Shelton (17)
• Alejandro Tabilo (22)
• Francisco Cerundolo (31)
• Thanasi Kokkinakis (78)
• Team Captain: John McEnroe

We’re getting a really fascinating mix of players on the side of Team World, despite some late dropouts. Shelton, who emerged as Team World’s breakout star in the previous year’s Laver Cup, is confirmed to participate. Then there’s Taylor Fritz, who was just in the US Open championship match, losing to Jannik Sinner. Tommy Paul and Alex de Minaur were originally scheduled to play for the team, but they were forced to withdraw due to injuries.

Match analytics

Given the arrangement of the squads, it seems obvious that Team Europe is the favorite, and we’ll support it to win in Berlin, where it will play as the host. The most recent Laver Cup 2024 odds from reputable tennis bookmakers haven’t yet been made public, though.

Even though Team Europe is greatly favored to win, Team World still has its chances. They’ll depend a lot on the doubles, especially because they have superior doubles specialists. For example, Fritz won bronze in the previous Olympics (with Paul), while Kokkinakis is the winner of a Grand Slam doubles event (with Nick Kyrgios at AO 2022). Six points is the overall value of these doubles matches, which is half of the amount Team World needs to claim.

There are very few singles matches that Team World is predicted to win, given the names in both squads. Thus, as seen by our concluding prediction below, we believe Team Europe will prevail handily since it ought to rule the singles, particularly on days two and three when the matches have a higher point total.

Tip: Team Europe to win 14-7.
