Logic was followed on Matchday 2 of the Laver Cup, with Daniil Medvedev, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Alexander Zverev each earning two points for Europe, which now leads 9-1 at the expense of the rest of the world team, Saturday in Boston.

At the end of the day, the Russian Medvedev, world No. 2, fresh winner of the US Open while depriving Novak Djokovic of a calendar Grand Slam, got rid of him without batting an eyelid 6-4, 6-0 from the Canadian Denis Shapovalov (12th).

Earlier, the Greek Tsitsipas (3rd) easily beat 6-3, 6-4 the Australian Nick Kyrgios down to the 95th place during a season to already be forgotten. In the process, the German Zverev (N.4) had more trouble, but he had the big American server John Isner (22nd) 7-6 (7/5), 6-7 (6/8) and 10-5 in the super tie-break, particularity of the event.

The day before, the Europeans, thanks to the Italian Matteo Berrettini, the Russian Andrey Rublev and the Norwegian Casper Ruud, had almost full success by winning the three singles and narrowly conceding the double, under the eyes of Roger Federer.

The Swiss, convalescing after a third knee operation, was present in the stands for the 4th edition of this competition of which he is one of the instigators.

In the night session, a double will oppose Andrey Rublev / Stefanos Tsitsipas to John Isner / Nick Kyrgios.

Thirteen points are needed to win the event, the first three editions of which have all been won by Europe.
