The gang's all here and we're diving headfirst into all things Laver Cup.
Jack, John, Sam, and Stevie look back at the very first edition, from Jack and John’s doubles wins to some of the wildest on-court moments. They debate whether the event can keep its spark without the Big 3, and why Carlos Alcaraz already feels essential for Team Europe. The crew breaks down the format, payouts, and shares a classic Fabio Fognini story.
