But Fritz would not be denied and claimed victory as Norrie struck a forehand long.<\/p>\n<p>Fritz\u2019s Team World team mates celebrated loudly with Frances Tiafoe especially pumped up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI live for these moments,\u201d Fritz said on court. \u201cI was so locked in and ready to go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>American Tiafoe, who alongside Jack Sock ripped up the script to beat Federer and Nadal on Friday, will face Novak Djokovic later on Saturday in what will be the Serbian\u2019s first match since winning Wimbledon in July to take his Grand Slam tally to 21.<\/p>\n<p>The day concludes with Djokovic alongside Berrettini taking on Australia\u2019s Alex De Minaur and American Sock.<\/p>\n<p>Individual matches were worth one point on Friday, two on Saturday and three on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Martyn Herman, editing by Pritha Sarkar)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/uncategorized\/tennis-fritz-levels-laver-cup\/attachment\/laver-cup-21\/\"><img
