Auger-Aliassime stunned Novak Djokovic 6-3 7-6(3) to put Team World within sight of their first ever victory over Team Europe in the Laver Cup on Sunday.<\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1663871513696-art-1\">\n<\/div>\n<p>Auger-Aliassime produced a masterful performance at a packed O2 Arena, holding off a Djokovic comeback in the second set to clinch Team World\u2019s second victory of the day.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Auger-Aliassime and Jack Sock had come from a set down to beat Andy Murray and Matteo Berrettini 2-6 6-3 10-8.<\/p>\n<p>Europe begun the day with an 8-4 lead going into the last four matches of the weekend but with a win rewarded by three points on the final day there was the potential for a big swing.<\/p>\n<p>Serbian Djokovic had been imperious the previous evening on his return to action for the first time since winning Wimbledon in July to reach 21 Grand Slam titles.<\/p>\n<p>He thrashed Frances Tiafoe and won a doubles with Berrettini, but Auger-Aliassime carried the momentum of his doubles win into the singles.<\/p>\n<p>The Canadian broke Djokovic\u2019s serve twice in the opening set and led 3-1 in the second before the former world number one, with Roger Federer supporting from the sidelines, began to find his range to drag the set into a tiebreaker.<\/p>\n<p>But Djokovic\u2019s level dropped and Auger-Aliassime took advantage to record his first career win over the Serbian.<\/p>\n<p>Tiafoe can give Team World an unassailable lead if he beats Stefanos Tsitsipas in the penultimate match.<\/p>\n<p>If Greek Tsitsipas wins, everything will be decided in the final singles between Norway\u2019s Casper Ruud and American Taylor Fritz. <\/p>\n<p>Should Team World, captained by John McEnroe, come out victorious it would be a massive turnaround after they lost 14-1 last year in Boston.<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Martyn Herman, editing by Ed Osmond)<\/p>\n<p><a
