The 2025 Laver Cup's Team Europe, featuring World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz, No. 3 Alexander Zverev, and No. 12 Casper Ruud, lost the title to Team World, whose lineup included No. 5 Taylor Fritz, Alex de Minaur, among others. Andy Roddick recently reacted to Zverev's ignoring Alcaraz's advice during the tournament.
The eighth edition of the Laver Cup was held at the Chase Center in San Francisco, United States, from September 19 to 21, 2025. Team World, captained by Andre Agassi, won its third title by defeating Team Europe.
On the recent podcast episode of 'Served with Andy Roddick' with Jon Wertheim and Mike Hayden, Andy Roddick shared his take on Alexander Zverev not following Carlos Alcaraz's advice.
"I think it's interesting also Carlos (Alcaraz) comes over and he could tell Zverev (Alexander) like, 'Oh, I would hit a forehand 110 and then I would hit a drop shot floater'. And then Zverev goes, 'No, f*** that, bro'. Casper (Ruud), I don't know that I have that one, Carlitos. Can we get Casper over here? He kind of resides. Yeah, there's a hugging the baseline deficit with Casper also." (30:26 onwards)

He continued:
'"Can you come here and tell me what you would do?' But I think that's the magic of it, right? Like I don't know that I would automatically source the opinion of the best player, right? Because maybe the way they view it is more difficult."
Throughout his notable career, Alexander Zverev has won 24 ATP Tour titles in the singles category and two titles in the doubles category.
