:Stefanos Tsitsipas won his singles contest before returning to court with Andrey Rublev to triumph in doubles as Team Europe swept all matches on Saturday and are one victory away against Team World to maintain their iron grip on the Laver Cup.

Named after Australian great Rod Laver, the three-day team event pits six of Europe's top players against six of their counterparts from the rest of the world, with four matches played each day - three singles and a doubles. Tsitsipas came under scrutiny at the U.S. Open for both the timing and length of his mid-match bathroom breaks, which critics considered unfair gamesmanship. But this time he was in control of the match and had a clear reason for the stoppage.

"I wonder if Kyrgios is tempted to say something like, 'Is this going to take about eight minutes? What's going on here?!'" U.S. Open champion Daniil Medvedev had a more comfortable outing in the night session against Canada's Denis Shapovalov and won 6-4 6-0.
