Former tennis star Andre Agassi named captain of Team World for Laver Cup

Eight-time Grand Slam champion Andre Agassi has been named the captain of Team World for the upcoming Laver Cup, set to take place in San Francisco in 2025. Agassi, a former world No. 1 player who retired in 2006 and coached Novak Djokovic, expressed his honor and excitement at taking on this role in a statement.

Agassi emphasized the importance of understanding and managing the players’ needs throughout the year in order to select the best matchups for success in the Laver Cup. He will be stepping into the role previously held by John McEnroe, who has captained Team World since the tournament’s inception.

In response to Agassi’s appointment, McEnroe congratulated him and expressed his support for the new captain. McEnroe highlighted the significance of the Laver Cup and his enjoyment of being involved in the competition. The rivalry between Team Europe and Team World adds an exciting dynamic to this prestigious event.

The announcement of Agassi’s new role coincides with the upcoming Laver Cup in Berlin, which will feature top men’s players from both Europe and the rest of the world. With the captaincy for Team Europe set to be announced soon, the anticipation for this year’s competition is building among tennis fans worldwide.
