Taylor Fritz clinched the Laver Cup for Team World on Sunday with a 6-3, 7-6 (4) victory over Germany's Alexander Zverev of Team Europe on the final day in San Francisco.

Team World won 15-9 to claim its third Laver Cup title in four years. The three-day hardcourt event featured three singles matches and one doubles match per day, from Friday through Sunday. A match victory Friday was worth one point, wins were two points on Saturday and three points on Sunday. The first team to 13 points won the event.

Earlier Sunday, Team Europe opened play with a doubles victory as Spain's Carlos Alcaraz and Norway's Casper Ruud downed Americans Alex Michelsen and Reilly Opelka 7-6 (4), 6-1 to close Team World's lead to 9-6.

Australia's Alex de Minaur got Team World to 12-6 with a 6-3, 6-4 win over the Czech Republic's Jakub Mensik, but Alcaraz kept Team Europoe alive with a 6-2, 6-2 victory over Argentina's Francisco Cerundolo for a 12-9 difference, leaving it up to the final match to determine the winner. Fritz, who knocked off Alcaraz on Saturday for his first career singles victory over a reigning top-ranked player, downed World No. 3 Zverev.
