Alexander Zverev proved Roger Federer right after losing to Taylor Fritz at the Laver Cup. It was a rematch of their recent US Open quarter-final, where the American won in four sets.

Zverev led two sets to one against Carlos Alcaraz before losing ground, enduring another heartbreaking Major campaign. Roger Federer spoke about his former rival ahead of the Laver Cup, citing Alexander's passiveness in his failed Major attempts, especially in the crucial moments.

Taylor Fritz came out on top in the rematch, adding another win to his tally against Zverev, and the 20-time Grand Slam champion would have been pleased with his prediction.
