Team World replaced Tommy Paul, Ben Shelton and Frances Tiafoe for the Laver Cup 2025
Frances Tiafoe and Ben Shelton were a part of Team World at the Laver Cup last year. However, they will miss out on the event this time around.
While Tiafoe is speculated to have a back injury, Shelton has been sidelined due to a shoulder problem on tour. The latter also retired from his fourth-round clash at the US Open due to the same.
Team captain Andre Agassi spoke about missing Tiafoe's energy in San Francisco, but was pleased to welcome Alex De Minaur on board.
"We will miss Frances’ energy and game in San Francisco. However, we couldn’t be more thrilled to add one of the best and most in-form players in the world to our team. I’ve admired the way Alex plays and competes from afar and now look forward to having a front row seat to watching him perform," Andre Agassi said
”De Minaur also shared his thoughts on joining Team World at the Laver Cup this year.
“It’s an honor to join Captain Agassi and Team World in San Francisco next week.”
Tommy Paul, meanwhile, was also forced to miss out due to a hip injury. He was replaced by big-serving Reilly Opelka this year.
