The doubles pairing of American John Isner and Denis Shapovalov of Canada notched up the first win for Team World in the Laver Cup in Boston on Friday with Team Europe heading into the weekend with a 3-1 lead after the opening day.
Isner and Shapovalov defeated German Alexander Zverev and Italian Matteo Berrettini 4-6 7-6 10-1 in the final match, bringing the TD Garden crowd to their feet with the clock minutes away from striking midnight.
Team Europe have won all three editions of the Laver Cup so far and they did not seem perturbed by the absence of Roger Federer, Rafa Nadal and Novak Djokovic in their ranks for this year's tournament when they jumped to a 3-0 lead in the singles. Swiss Federer, who is a co-creator of the exhibition event, is recuperating from a knee surgery he underwent last month but thrilled the Boston crowd by making a surprise trip.
