While Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal were present alongside Roger Federer during his farewell in September 2022 in London, on the occasion of the fifth edition of the Laver Cup, the Spaniard only had the right to videos recorded of his two great rivals during the ceremony in his honor in Malaga, after the elimination of Spain in the quarter-finals of the Davis Cup.
If Federer and Djokovic had potentially planned to make the trip later in the week, thinking that Spain would exit the competition prematurely, could Rafa blame them, particularly Roger with whom he has a special relationship?
“Roger has always been good at doing things right, at the right time. By definition, a Tennis player is a loner. He is delighted with the support of others but… We would have liked it to be like Roger Federer in the Laver Cup for Rafa, but there you go. He was with those who mattered to him, in an official event, for his country. The circle is closed. I don’t think he will hold it against Roger and Novak.”estimated Guy Forget during an interview given to Tennis News.
