Eight-time Grand Slam winner Andre Agassi has been name the new Team World captain at the Laver Cup from 2025, organizers said on Wednesday.

McEnroe and his long-time rival Bjorn Borg, captain of Team Europe, will go head-to-head for the last time at this year's Laver Cup in Berlin from September 20-22.

"I am truly honoured to accept the invitation to become the Laver Cup Team World captain," Agassi said. "I hope I can build the rapport, respect and trust with the players as John has done and I can’t wait to take on this role, it’s not one I’m taking lightly."

Rafael Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Zverev will represent Team Europe this year, while Alex de Minaur, Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul have been included in the line-up of Team World.
