Hyderabad:Roger Federer played his final match alongside Rafael Nadal in a doubles event at the Laver Cup on Friday. As the Swiss tennis legend bids goodbye to the sport, his fierce rival and Spanish tennis giant Rafael Nadal couldn’t hold back his tears, leaving the audience with lots of memories.
The 20-time Grand Slam champion, Roger Federer, and Nadal, playing for Team Europe, lost 6-4, 6-7 (2/7), 9-11 against Team World’s Frances Tiafoe and Jack Sock. As the match ended, Federer hugged Nadal as well as Tiafoe and Sock. Soon after, the long-time friends were captured in tears as the duo played their last match in competitive tennis.
Several people, including Indian cricketer Virat Kohli, took to Twitter to share their thoughts on this historic moment.
“Who thought rivals can feel like this towards each other. That’s the beauty of sport. This is the most beautiful sporting picture ever for me. When your companions cry for you, you know what you’ve been able to do with your god given talent. Nothing but respect for these 2 (sic),” said Kohli.
