Alexander Zverev, Grigor Dimitrov and David Goffin will join Team Europe this year as they look to defend their Laver Cup title in Chicago in September. 

The trio of top 15 players will join 20 time grand slam champion, Roger Federer and 13 time grand slam champion Novak Djokovic in Chicago later this year. The world number four, Alexander Zverev was apart of Team Europe’s triumph in Prague last year and is looking forward to this year’s event, “I enjoyed being part of the Laver Cup in Prague last year and I am looking forward to joining the team again, this time in Chicago, to defend our title with some great teammates,” explained the German.

However, Grigor Dimitrov and David Goffin were not involved last year and the Bulgarian has explained that he is looking forward to representing Bjorn Borg’s team in September, “I can’t wait to join all these great players to take on Team World in the Laver Cup in Chicago. It’s such an honor to be sharing the court with this incredible group of players, and to have the chance to play on the same team with them.”

Team Europe still have one pick left, just like Team World, who so far have picked John Isner, Kevin Anderson, Diego Schwartzman, Nick Kyrgios and Juan Martin Del Potro to challenge Team Europe in Chicago. The captain’s picks are likely to be announced next week, with the event taking place on the 21st-23rd of September.
