“Incredible would be an understatement, we waited a long time for this, sometimes we were hit hard and sometimes we were close,” McEnroe summed up.
The fifth time was the charm of the world team, which for the first time won the Laver Cup against the European team, thanks to the two triumphs of Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime, one in doubles and the other in singles, and the final comeback by Frances Tiafoe, in London yesterday.
Tiafoe, a semifinalist at the US Open a few weeks ago, extended his moment of glory with a great comeback against Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas; 1-6, 7-6 (11/13) and 10-8, confirming the rest of the world’s victory over Europe against 13-7. On a glorious Sunday for the players led by John McEnroe, Auger-Aliassime paved the way by winning first in doubles alongside Jack Sock against Matteo Berrettini and Andy Murray, then against Novak Djokovic in singles. Tiafoe completed the job before the last game, between Norwegian Casper Ruud and American Taylor Fritz.
“Incredible would be an understatement, we waited a long time for this, sometimes we were hit hard and sometimes we were close … It’s a young group of extraordinary players who have kept fighting. We were in trouble, but the fans were great ‘, summarized McEnroe, who also lived the previous four defeats against Europe in first person.
On the final day of the Laver Cup, each win means three points, as opposed to Saturday, when it was worth two, and Friday, when only one counted.
