Tennis fans can see Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer work once more after the LaVer Cup organizer announced on Thursday that the Duo would be part of the European team’s defense team against the world team this year.
Nadal created history on Sunday by beating Russia Danil Medvedev in the Australian Open final to claim the 21st title record of 21 and moved one in front of Federer and Novak Djokovic, who were equally lost in Meboure.
The Spaniard, who has played twice in the LaVer Cup, paired with Federer for the first match and their only double together in the prime edition of the event in Prague in 2017.
“I suggested to Roger, we had to play double together in London And he seems interested, so now we just need to persuade our BJORN captain (Borg), “Nadal said.
“Roger has become a big part of my career, a big rival and also a true friend.” To be part of the European team together is very good and if we can share the court once again as a double pair then this will be a truly special experience for us at this stage in our career.
“Federer hasn’t played since being knocked down in the Wimbledon quarter-finals last year after the third knee operation, but Swiss Great aims to return in April or May.” I really hope to return to the competition this year and the LaVer Cup is very part of my plan , “Federer said about the tournament, which will be staged in London from September 23-25.” Rafa is an extraordinary person and inspiration for me and other countless people throughout the world.
“He disrupted me on social media after the LaVon Cup in Boston last year suggested we play double in London and I was definitely ready for a ‘Fedal’ comeback of the LaVer Cup!”
