Team World is still clearly on course for victory in the Laver Cup. Taylor Fritz was also able to score a win and won once morest Andrey Rublev 6:2 and 7:6 (3).
For long stretches the match actually looked relatively even. But Taylor Fritz had a much easier time with his own serve games throughout the game and was able to save some strength for his return games. And with his signature shot, a forehand winner, the US boy ended the match and gave Team World a 6-0 lead.
Gael Monfils attacks critics
On the sidelines of the Laver Cup, the discussion is becoming increasingly heated regarding how seriously the players really take the competition. Especially following Gael Monfils emphasized during his match once morest Félix Auger-Aliassime yesterday that he was just there to have fun. The Frenchman defended his statement on social media in the evening.
“I’ve had enough of these constant and pointless polemics,” he wrote on Twitter – and continued: “Some people seem to get upset regarding trivialities. I’m annoyed by those who are quick to judge. Some may think that I’m not serious mine, just because I’m smiling and having fun. But I take this opportunity very seriously, for the event, for my team and especially for myself. I know some will say that I haven’t achieved anything, that I’m a clown . But the truth is that I am happy and fulfilled. I would like to emphasize that the Laver Cup is a fantastic event and I plan to enjoy the end of my weekend to the fullest. Let’s go, Team Europe! Let’s team Grab World!”
