Sky Sports Tennis host Gigi Salmon will front the coverage, supported by the team of pundits. Sky struck a contract with Laver Cup owners Trident8 – run by Roger Federer’s agent Anthony Godsick. Former British No1, European vice-captain and Sky pundit Tim Henman said: “It’s great news that the Laver Cup will be on Sky Sports. “It’s a unique opportunity to see the best players in the world coming together to represent Team Europe and Team World at the iconic O2 Arena. “Fans can expect plenty of drama, passion and rivalry, both on and off the court.” Most read in Tennis CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Andre Agassi will try and defend the title he led Team World to last year Credit: Getty The Laver Cup returns to the O2 Arena – four years after the London venue first staged it. That was the scene of Federer’s emotional goodbye, bowing out with a doubles defeat alongside great rival Rafael Nadal in North Greenwich. This time around, Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev have both signed up to play for Europe – if the Spaniard is fit – while American pair Ben Shelton and Taylor Fritz are set to be part of the team representing the rest of the world. Yannick Noah captains Europe while the World team are led by Andre Agassi, just like in 2025. There will, once again, be 12 matches across the long weekend. But unlike the Ryder Cup in golf, the matches are worth more points as the tournament goes along. So it is one point per match on the Friday, two points on Saturday and three on Sunday. Team Europe won the first four Laver Cups but Team World have claimed three of the last four. Comment now
