After this Novak met Djokovic. During this, Rafael Nadal also felt emotional after feeling the moments of Federer’s departure.
In his last professional match, Federer lost in the quarterfinals of Wimbledon against Poland’s Hubert Hurkaz. He could not play for long due to knee problem. Federer will not compete in a singles match in the Laver Cup.
At the same time, 41-year-old Federer said, “I do not know whether I will be able to play well or not, but I will definitely try.” This is a different experience. I am happy to see him (Nadal) in my team and not play against him.”
Nadal, on the other hand, had said that he was looking forward to an “unforgettable” match with his Swiss rival. “The most important players in my tennis career are now leaving the game. This moment will be difficult. I am so excited and grateful to be playing with him.”
