Ben Shelton apologised to fellow Team World star Taylor Fritz after their Laver Cup doubles win over Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev on Friday. The American duo upset the odds to defeat the players ranked second and third in the world respectively in straight sets.

The talented 21-year-old American is making his own waves in 2024 and had a solid month on the North American leg of the tour. This is his second appearance at the Laver Cup after surprising many in the 2023 edition in Vancouver. He won all three matches without dropping a set and he will relish playing Alcaraz in Berlin here.

Carlos Alcaraz beat American Ben Shelton 6-4 6-4 to level the score between Team Europe and Team World on the second day of the Laver Cup on Saturday.

Frances Tiafoe came back from behind to beat Daniil Medvedev while Carlos Alcaraz got the better of Ben Shelton at the Uber Arena.

Carlos Alcaraz said he feels "pressure" and "energy" from Team Europe after winning on his Laver Cup debut by beating Ben Shelton at Berlin's Uber Arena.
