Tournament Format & Unique Scoring Rules
The Laver Cup features a high-stakes format distinct from standard ATP Tour events. Team Europe and Team World compete in 12 matches total over three days (nine singles and three doubles), with all matches played as best-of-three sets with a 10-point match tiebreak in place of a deciding third set.
The tournament relies on an escalating scoring system where match values increase each day:
Friday Matches: Worth 1 point each (4 points total available).
Saturday Matches: Worth 2 points each (8 points total available).
Sunday Matches: Worth 3 points each (12 points total available).
The first team to reach 13 points out of the 24 available points claims the trophy. Every player on the roster must play at least one singles match during the first two days, and no player can play singles more than twice across the weekend.
