Overview
- Tournament organizers confirmed Monday that Ignacio Buse has been named the official alternate for Team World at the Laver Cup, scheduled for September 25–27 at The O2 in London.
- As an alternate he will train with the squad, take part in team activities and remain available to replace a starter if a player withdraws or is injured during the three‑day event.
- Buse’s call‑up follows a breakout 2026 season in which he won the ATP 500 in Hamburg and the ATP 250 in Winston‑Salem and reached a career‑high ranking near world No. 30 before sitting around No. 35.
- Multiple outlets report this is the first time a Peruvian has been included in a Laver Cup delegation, making the nomination a notable milestone for tennis in Peru.
- The immediate effect will be high‑level exposure and coaching under Agassi and the Team World environment, and the key thing to watch is whether a late withdrawal gives Buse his first match court time at the event.
