For the second year in a row, John McEnroe and Team World won the Laver Cup, and the Team Captain was ecstatic.

McEnroe hated losing as a player, and while he's become more relaxed over the years, he wasn't particularly glad about losing the event for the first few years. A win finally came last year; now it's two in a row as Team World bested Team Europe again.

They didn't just beat them; they smashed them properly, as only one match went Europe's way. Casper Ruud delivered the only win for Team Europe in a rather embarrassing loss overall. Not for McEnroe, though; he was thrilled after the match, praising his players.

Well, on behalf of Team World, I am proud of these guys. We brought together a great group of some youth and experience, guys that have been here before. Everybody played well. It was an awesome week. We kicked some ass, baby. That's what we did.

We'll see whether they can make it three years in a row because Team Europe is expected to field a much better team next year. It's going to be tougher for sure, but McEnroe said that Team World is not going to back down. Winning just feels that much better.

So we're looking, already thinking about next year, because, you know, winning is a whole lot better than losing. We struggled the first couple years, and now we have tasted winning and it feels good. Thank you, boys.

The next edition of the Laver Cup will happen in 2024 on European soil in Berlin. Expect a strong team from the Blue side, with perhaps Carlos Alcaraz debuting at the competition. German Alexander Zverev is almost a given with the competition being hosted by Germany.
