Alexander Zverev is among the Team Europe stars likely still celebrating their success over Team World at the Laver Cup.
Zverev reminisced about Bjorn Borg ahead of their final Laver Cup together, with the latter now stepping down as captain.
Borg told Yannick Noah he has to understand his players to enjoy Laver Cup success, with the Frenchman taking over from the Swede for the 2025 tournament.
In Berlin, however, there was plenty of pressure on hosts Team World, and in particular Zverev given he was playing on home soil.
And the German started in disappointing fashion, losing his day one doubles match with Carlos Alcaraz to American duo Ben Shelton and Taylor Fritz.

He then lost his day two singles match to Fritz, but recovered in fine fashion to win a huge day three singles clash with Frances Tiafoe.
It was a key win for his team, but also a record-breaking moment for Zverev, who has surpassed Roger Federer for the most Team Europe match wins at the Laver Cup, as per OptaAce.
Since the first edition in 2017, Zverev now has nine wins in singles and doubles matches, with Federer having posted eight victories.
How did Team Europe beat Team World at the Laver Cup?
It was another thrilling Laver Cup, where Borg’s Team Europe came from behind to beat John McEnroe’s Team World 13-11.
The two teams finished level on 2-2 after an exciting day one, before the visitors stormed to an 8-4 lead after day two.
But a superb comeback, led by Team Europe star Alcaraz, was secured, with the Spaniard ending his tournament with eight points.
After a tough few days for Zverev, the German came alive when it really mattered, coming from behind to beat Tiafoe 6-7(5-7), 7-5, 10-5.
That victory secured three points for Team Europe in the penultimate match, with Alcaraz then securing the trophy with a 6-2, 7-5 win over Fritz.
