Europe dominate Laver Cup 11-1

Newly crowned US Open champion Daniil Medvedev cruised past Canada’s Denis Shapovalov 6-4, 6-0 in the 2021 Laver Cup on Saturday, as Team Europe continued its march towards a fourth straight title.

Medvedev’s win over Team World’s Shapovalov earned two points and gave the Europeans a whopping 11-1 overall lead heading into final matches at the Boston Garden arena. Team Europe needs just two more points to be declared the winner. “I played unbelievable tennis,” said Medvedev. “I didn’t know what to expect because after the US Open, I didn’t play for a week-and-a-half.”
