The Laver Cup 2025 may have come to an end with Team World’s remarkable victory, but the discussions are still ongoing. As Andre Agassi and Yannick Noah took charge as new mentors, fans had mixed reactions towards their role in leading up to the conclusion. While some appreciated Agassi’s decision to step back on the courts once again to share his experience, others were seen criticising Yannick Noah’s command.
The Fans’ Verdict on Andre Agassi and Yannick Noah as the New Laver Cup Captains
The Laver Cup 2025 witnessed the batons pass from Björn Borg and John McEnroe to Yannick Noah and Andre Agassi, who became the new captains of Team Europe and Team World, respectively. Under Agassi’s leadership, Team World delivered a strong performance, ultimately defeating Team Europe 15-9 at the Chase Center in San Francisco to win the eighth edition of the tournament.
Andre Agassi’s guidance for Team World not only earned him his first Laver Cup trophy as captain but also a massive chunk of respect from the players. A fan wondered if players from Team World line-up would think of appointing Agassi as their new coach.
“I wonder how many coaching DMs Andre Agassi will get from agents of Team World players after Laver Cup. The energy he brought to the team as a whole and each player mid-match was palpable and looked like the story of the tournament,” the comment read.

Another fan, expressing their admiration for Agassi’s notable return to the sport, said:
“Andre Agassi has all the experiences of a generational competitor. And now, Andre Agassi has all the wisdom gained from raising a family. His return to the sport as an elder is perfectly timed. I hope he goes on to fulfill his great potential as a thought leader for the new era.”
A fan, besides appreciating Agassi’s leadership, also didn’t back down from despising Yannick Noah’s “poor leadership”.
“No enthusiasm with captains in Team Europe. Agassi is all enthusiasm! Europe is losing because of poor leadership. Yannick is too old for this event and shouldn’t have been chosen captain. Who ok’d this?”

Responding to the thread, another fan agreed on Yannick Noah’s failure to lead Team Europe to a victory.
“Totally agree. Agassi helped Fritz, whereas Yannick Noah, on the other hand, was more a confusion than a help, he should not be in the Laver Cup ever again!” the fan stated.
One fan placed Agassi above Noah in terms of providing guidance.
“Not that it would make a difference, but I’m not sure I think Yannick Noah is the strongest coach. You can see how much energy Agassi brings to team world,” the individual’s comment read.
How Agassi Addressed Team Europe After Laver Cup Win
After the conclusion of Laver Cup 2025, Agassi struck a tone of respect and calm admiration towards Team Europe, even amid the high-energy contest. He also took a light‐hearted jibe directed at Carlos Alcaraz, teasing the Spaniard about his dominance in major tournaments. Agassi said:
“Carlos, don’t be so greedy with all those Grand Slams. Share some with your brothers, for God’s sake.”
