Before stepping onto the black court at Chase Center, Team World brought its competitive spirit to another San Francisco icon, Oracle Park, home of the Giants.
Players Joao Fonseca, Francisco Cerundolo, Alex Michelsen, Reilly Opelka, and Jenson Brooksby, joined by Vice Captain Pat Rafter, suited up in custom Giants jerseys and even tried their hand at baseball. From posing with their names on the back of Giants uniforms to taking swings on the diamond, the team got a taste of San Francisco sports culture in classic Bay Area fashion.
The lighthearted outing comes just days before the Laver Cup makes its San Francisco debut (September 20–22), transforming Chase Center into a global stage for tennis. With captains Andre Agassi and Yannick Noah leading Team World and Team Europe, the weekend promises world-class matches, iconic moments, and an all-around celebration of the sport.
The visit to Oracle Park is a symbolic moment of cultural exchange. Against the backdrop of one of San Francisco’s most iconic venues, Team World connected with the city that will host the Laver Cup for the very first time.
The lighthearted outing set the stage for what promises to be a thrilling weekend of competition, as the Laver Cup transforms Chase Center from a basketball arena into a world-class tennis stage. With a sold-out crowd, a buzzing Fan Zone, and global legends converging in San Francisco, the Bay Area is ready to take its place in tennis history.
