This Sunday, one team will claim victory at the Laver Cup, hosted at San Francisco’s Chase Center—an arena renowned for its rich history in championship wins, thanks to the Golden State Warriors.
Stephen Curry, the driving force behind the Warriors’ four NBA championships since 2015, has his roots deep in the Chase Center, especially following their 2022 title win. As the Laver Cup turned the spotlight onto his home court, the 37-year-old guard was present to perform the coin toss before Taylor Fritz’s stunning victory over Carlos Alcaraz, ranked No. 1 in the PIF ATP Rankings.
When Curry stepped onto the court alongside Roger Federer, the sold-out crowd erupted in applause, creating one of the night’s loudest ovations. Moments later, Alcaraz and Fritz posed for a memorable pre-match photo with the two global icons, prompting jubilant reactions from their teammates and captains, with Andre Agassi particularly excited.
“It’s exhilarating. It’s tough to contain the excitement when that’s the introduction to the match,” Fritz expressed after his noteworthy win against the Spaniard. “Adrenaline was definitely at an all-time high for this one.”
A devoted tennis enthusiast, Curry has often graced the US Open and was in attendance for the thrilling men’s singles final this year, featuring Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.
