Federer, Zverev lead Team Europe to Laver Cup victory

CHICAGO, Sept 24 (AP): Alexander Zverev beat Kevin Anderson on Sunday night to give Team Europe a victory in the second Laver Cup.

Zverev won the final five points to defeat Anderson 6-7, 7-5, (10-7). His victory helped Team Europe beat Team World 13-8.

"Obviously it was an amazing feeling," Zverev said. "So special to clinch it for us guys and Europe. It's great how it ended."

Anderson, who lost in the Wimbledon finals this year, said Sunday night's setback affected more than just him.

"You're playing for something different. You feel like you didn't come through for the team," he said.

Had Anderson won, Nick Kyrgios of the World team would have played Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic in a deciding singles match. But it was not necessary because the European team had reached 13 points.
