Once the US Open concludes on September 13, the tennis calendar shifts quickly into its fall stretch, with the Laver Cup and a run of Asian hard-court events headlining the next several weeks.
## The Immediate Next Stop: Laver Cup
The first marquee event after the US Open is the Laver Cup, running September 25-27 at The O2 Arena in London. Team Europe, captained by Yannick Noah, includes Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev and Casper Ruud, while Team World, led by Andre Agassi, features Taylor Fritz and Alex de Minaur. Full team rosters and the tournament’s unique scoring format are covered in our Laver Cup 2026 guide.
## Before That: Davis Cup Qualifiers
Just before the Laver Cup, national teams battle it out in Davis Cup qualifiers from September 18-20, with 14 teams competing for seven spots in the November Finals alongside host nation Italy. Our Davis Cup 2026 guide breaks down the format and every qualifying tie.
## The Asian Swing
Following the Laver Cup, the ATP and WTA tours head to Asia for a run of hard-court events, including tournaments in China, before the tours reconvene for the Masters and WTA 1000 events in Shanghai and Wuhan. These events serve as key tune-ups for the season-ending Finals in November.
## Why This Stretch Matters
Ranking points earned across these fall events directly affect qualification for the ATP Finals in Turin and the WTA Finals in Riyadh, both previewed in our dedicated guides to those season-ending championships. Players just outside the qualification cutoff will be under real pressure during this stretch.
## How to Watch
Coverage of the Laver Cup airs on Tennis Channel and international broadcast partners, while Asian swing events are typically available through the Tennis Channel app and regional streaming services depending on your location.
