Federer & Steph Curry join Alcaraz, Fritz for unforgettable coin toss
On Sunday one team will win the Laver Cup at San Francisco’s Chase Center, an arena very familiar with championship trophies thanks to one of the building’s primary tenants, the Golden State Warriors.
Superstar Stephen Curry has led the Warriors to four NBA titles since 2015, including one in 2022 after the team’s move to Chase Center three years prior. With the Laver Cup being played in Curry’s house, the 37-year-old point guard was on hand for Saturday night’s action and performed the coin toss ahead of Taylor Fritz’s upset win against Carlos Alcaraz, the No. 1 in the PIF ATP Rankings.
When Curry walked out onto the court with Roger Federer, the sell-out crowd let out perhaps its biggest roar of the night. As Alcaraz and Fritz posed for a pre-match picture with the two legends, their teammates and captains rushed the court to take part in the photo opp, with Agassi particularly enthused.
“It’s pretty sick. It’s pretty hard to not be really just pumped up to play a match when that’s kind of like the intro to the match,” Fritz said after his upset win against the Spaniard. “Definitely no shortage of just adrenaline for this one.”
A longtime tennis fan, Curry has been a repeat visitor at the US Open and attended this year’s men’s singles final in New York between Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.
