After Andre Agassi led Team World to an upset victory over Team Europe at the 2025 Laver Cup, he gave a memorable speech during the trophy ceremony.
"I say you have mother privileges now in my life," he told his six-man team in front of the Chase Center crowd in San Francisco. "So what 'mother privileges' mean is, you call, you ask and the answer's yes before you ask. I would go to battle for each and every one of you, anywhere, anytime. Love you guys."
Agassi will again go to battle for Team World at the 2026 Laver Cup. It will be his second time serving as captain, and it is clear he immersed himself in the experience and the competition the first time around.
For Team Europe, Yannick Noah will also return as captain for his second year at the Laver Cup. The former French Open champion will head a European contingent that is favored to take the cup back at London's O2 Arena from Sept. 25-27.
