Stefanos Tsitsipas and Francisco Cerundolo both played their part in the thrilling 2024 Laver Cup in Berlin.
Tsitsipas praised Bjorn Borg before the Laver Cup got underway, before helping his captain leave the stage on a high.
The Greek star won his day one clash with Thanasi Kokkinakis at the Uber Arena, although lost his doubles match alongside Casper Ruud on day two.
Team World pair Ben Shelton and Alejandro Tabilo came out on top in that encounter, but it was Team Europe who went on to win the event 13-11.
Cerundolo was only given one chance to impress Team World captain John McEnroe, having come up against Ruud in the very first match.
