MELBOURNE, Australia — Two-time US Open champion Pat Rafter will take over for Patrick McEnroe as vice captain of Team World for the 2025 Laver Cup.
The appointment was confirmed Sunday at a news conference during the Australian Open and will see Rafter support captain Andre Agassi at the event in San Francisco in September.
“It’s an honor to take on this role,” said former No. 1-ranked Rafter, an Australian who won successive US Opens in 1997-98 and was also a Wimbledon finalist. “The Laver Cup is a phenomenal event, and being part of something that honors Rod Laver and past generations of tennis is very special to me.”
McEnroe, who served as vice captain under his brother John and has been involved since the inaugural tournament in 2017, expressed confidence in Rafter.
“He’s a Hall of Famer and one of the classiest guys in tennis,” McEnroe said. “This is a big step up for the team.”
The Laver Cup was inspired by Rod Laver’s legacy of winning the Grand Slam of all four tennis majors in a calendar year. The main stadium at the Australian Open is also named in his honor.
