In his first competitive match since Wimbledon, Novak Djokovic defeated Frances Tiafoe with a faultless performance, giving up just four games. Tiafoe had recently finished in the semifinals of the US Open and was entering this tournament with a lot of confidence. The Serbian has never previously triumphed at the Laver Cup. When he participated in the competition four years ago, he lost both his doubles match and his singles encounter against Kevin Anderson (partnering Roger Federer). He left the court shortly after spending just over an hour playing Frances Tiafoe and came back a short while later to win the doubles match against Alex de Minaur and Jack Sock in straight sets, extending Team Europe’s lead. If Team Europe wins the doubles match on Day 3 to start the day, the former world number one will have a chance to capture the trophy for the reigning champions. With these two victories, they would have 14 points, which is one more than what is needed to break a tie.
On Day 2, Felix Auger Aliassime had a chance to give his team the advantage and boost morale, but he was unable to take the pressure as he usually does and fell to Matteo Berrettini in a tightly contested three-setter. The gifted Canadian faces a challenging challenge on Day 3 of the Laver Cup because he is scheduled to compete in both a singles match and a doubles match. He must win at least one of both matches to keep Team World in the competition. The number thirteen-ranked player in the world can take heart from his heroics in the other team competition at the ATP Cup earlier this year. After losing in three sets to Taylor Fritz to start the season, he recovered by beating players like Alexander Zverev and Roberto Bautista Agut and winning two crucial doubles matches to help Canada win their first team event championship.
