Carlos Alcaraz saved match points to win his singles match at the Laver Cup, helping Team Europe build a lead over Team World, according to BBC Sport.
The victory meant Alcaraz avoided consecutive singles defeats for the first time in 18 months, a notable result given the Spanish player's recent run of form heading into the event.
Europe's continued dominance
The Laver Cup pits a team representing Europe against a team representing the rest of the world across multiple days of singles and doubles matches, with results contributing to an overall team score.
Team Europe has traditionally performed strongly in the competition since its inception, and this result extended their lead in the current edition of the event.
Details on the identity of Alcaraz's opponent, the final score of the match, and the number of match points saved were not included in the available excerpt.
The result keeps Team Europe on course for another Laver Cup title, though the competition remained ongoing with further matches still to be played.
