Team World just needs two more match wins to claim the Laver Cup a third straight time.
Team World won three of four matches from Team Europe on Saturday to take an 8-4 points lead into the third and final day in Berlin.
After Friday’s matches were split evenly, Frances Tiafoe and Taylor Fritz beat top-five opponents, and Ben Shelton and Alejandro Tabilo crushed Europe’s Casper Ruud and Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-1, 6-2.
Tiafoe, who reached the U.S. Open semifinals, beat No. 5 Daniil Medvedev 3-6, 6-4 (10-5) for the first time in six attempts.
“Midway in the second [set] and in the tiebreak, I felt like I was Roger Federer, honestly,” Tiafoe joked while smiling at Federer, who was in the stands.
No. 7-ranked Taylor Fritz, the U.S. Open finalist, upset No. 2 Alexander Zverev 6-4, 7-5 for his third consecutive win over the German. Fritz hit 27 winners to Zverev’s 11.
The day ended with Shelton’s and Alejandro Tabilo’s doubles rout.
The Laver Cup is formatted like golf’s Ryder Cup. The first team to 13 points wins. There are four matches on Sunday, each worth three points.
