Federer bids emotional farewell to tennis at Laver Cup theSun theSundaily tennis RogerFederer LaverCup

Switzerland’s Roger Federer waves after a practice session ahead of the 2022 Laver Cup at the O2 Arena in London on September 22, 2022. AFPPIX: Roger Federer will bring the curtain down on his spectacular career in a “super special” match alongside long-time rival Rafael Nadal at the Laver Cup in London on Friday.

The Swiss great has enjoyed a storied rivalry with the Spaniard over nearly two decades and together they have won 42 Grand Slam singles titles in a golden era for the men's game. Italian Matteo Berrettini will take Federer's place for the final two days of the three-day tournament. “So to be able to do that one more time, I’m sure it’s going to be wonderful. I will try my very best. I hope to be good out there, and of course I will enjoy it but it will be hard.”

“This is beyond belief what him and the other two guys have done,“ he said. “He doesn’t need my advice. He’s in a great position. He’s a total class act. “We had a great battle on the Centre Court at Wimbledon and you took me down in a tough five-setter and I just remember walking off the court feeling like I’d met my match,“ he said in a video posted on social media.
