Logic respected in the second day of the Laver Cup of tennis, underway in Boston: Daniil Medvedev, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Alexander Zverev each brought two points to the team of Europe, which leads 11-1 against the Rest of the world.
Now there are only two points left for the champions of the Old Continent to win the event for the fourth time in as many editions and therefore only one success will be enough as each is worth three points.
Fresh winner of his first US Open, while also depriving Novak Djokovic of a calendar Grand Slam, world # 2 Medvedev did his part by beating Canadian Denis Shapovalov (# 12) 6-4, 6-0.
Previously, Tsitsipas (# 3) defeated Australian Nick Kyrgios just as easily (6-3, 6-4), who collapsed to 95th place in the standings after a forgettable season.
The German Zverev (# 4) had more problems to be right than the American John Isner (# 22), with a score of 7-6 (7/5), 6-7 (6/8) and 10-5 super tie-break, a particularity of the event.
Finally, in the night session, the double Rublev-Tsitsipas got the better of Isner-Kyrgios for 6-7 (8/10), 6-3, 10-4.
