The world No. 2 prevailed 7-6(3), 6-3 in a high-stakes singles match, giving Team Europe an unassailable 13-5 lead and sparking celebrations on the court.
Zverev’s victory completed a strong final day for the European side. Earlier, Flavio Cobolli and Jakub Mensik had defeated Alex de Minaur and Taylor Fritz 7-5, 6-3 in doubles to stretch the lead to 10-5 and put Europe firmly in control.
The German, a two-time major champion in 2026, made amends for his Saturday defeat to De Minaur. In a tense opening set, Zverev saved a set point on serve at 5-6 before dominating the tie-break. He then maintained his composure in the second set to close out the match and claim the trophy.
The triumph marks the first Laver Cup title for Team Europe captain Yannick Noah, who had fallen short against Andre Agassi’s Team World in San Francisco last year. Europe have now won six of the nine editions of the competition.
Zverev improved his head-to-head record against Tien to 3-1 and secured his first Laver Cup singles victory since 2024. The final point sparked jubilant scenes as the European players and staff celebrated reclaiming the trophy in London.
Team World had revived their hopes on Saturday with key wins, but Europe’s dominance on the final day proved decisive. The result underlines the depth and quality of the European squad throughout the three-day event.
With the Laver Cup returning to European hands, attention will now turn to the remainder of the ATP season as the players prepare for the Asian swing and the final stretch of the year.
