Laver Cup 2025 scoring format

Each day, three singles matches and one doubles match are played to the best of three sets, with the doubles match using a 10-point tiebreak format.

A team wins by reaching 13 points. Friday’s wins are worth one point, Saturday’s two points, and Sunday’s three points — ensuring that no team can clinch the title before the last day.

If the competition is tied after 12 matches, a final overtime doubles match is played.

All players compete in at least one singles match between Friday and Saturday, and at least four participate in doubles.

If only one match is needed to decide the winner on Sunday, an exhibition match is played following the trophy ceremony.

Laver Cup 2025 team lineups

The teams for the 2025 Laver Cup will be made up of the best tennis players on the planet.

Based on ATP rankings at the conclusion of the French Open at Roland-Garros, the top three ranked players in each of the Europe and World regions receive invitations to play in the Laver Cup.

If an invitation is declined, the next best-ranked player is invited, until three players are picked for each team.

Each captain can also select three players for their team as "Captain's Picks", with all three needing to have been nominated by the start of the US Open.
