PARIS: Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev are the first players confirmed to represent Europe at the 2027 Laver Cup in Los Angeles, organisers announced on Tuesday, as the team bids for a record-extending seventh title.

The 10th edition of the tournament will take place at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles from September 24-26.

Team World is made up of players from outside Europe. The annual tournament, launched in 2017, is intended to be tennis's equivalent of golf's Ryder Cup.

World number one Zverev will make a record eighth Laver Cup appearance in Los Angeles, having been part of Team Europe's six title-winning campaigns since making his debut at the inaugural event in Prague in 2017.
