Team Europe and Team World are tied at 2 after one day of the Laver Cup after play opened Friday in Berlin.

Team World’s Francisco Cerundolo of Argentina upset Casper Ruud of Norway 6-4, 6-4. Cerundolo, ranked No. 31 in the world, won in 97 minutes and fired 16 winners to improve to 4-3 all-time against the No. 9 Ruud.

Team Europe’s Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece got his side even with a 6-1, 6-4 victory in 81 minutes over Thanasi Kokkinakis of Australia.

Later in the day, Team Europe’s Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria edged Chile’s Alejandro Tabilo 7-6 (4), 7-6 (2). But a pair of Americans got Team World back even in doubles, as Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton edged Spanish star Carlos Alcaraz of Spain and German Alexander Zverev 7-6 (5), 6-4. Fritz and Shelton combined for eight aces, saved 4 of 5 break points and converted both their opportunities to break Alcaraz and Zverev.
