Roger Federer’s latest documentary “Federer: Twelve Final Days” is out on Amazon Prime and has so far gotten wonderful reactions from the viewers. The film chronicles the last few days of Federer’s career. The Swiss ace had dominated the tennis circuit for nearly two decades and concluded it at the 2022 Laver Cup. 

Unlike many tennis players, Federer had decided to end his career in a group event instead of an individual one. He played his last match at the Laver Cup with all his rivals on one team. A perfect exit for the Swiss, who celebrated it with Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray, and more at the tournament. However, he missed a few players then and hopes to meet them this year at a Laver Cup reunion event.

In a recent interview, Federer revealed that he will be in Berlin at the time of the Laver Cup and hopes to see Alexander Zverev there, who he missed during his retirement, as the German was injured. Moreover, he also showed excitement to meet Carlos Alcaraz and also hopes that Nadal will be there.

It would certainly have been nice because I know it would have meant a lot to him (Zverev). He came as a fan. I know that I was very important to him in his career as an idol. I'm looking forward to him being in Berlin this year for the Laver Cup. It will be a cool thing, also with Carlos Alcaraz. Hopefully, Rafa will play too - as will Medvedev.

With this year being the last for Rafael Nadal, he might be present for the Laver Cup and there can be a possible reunion along with some of the youngsters in the game. Zverev missed last time but can be present this time. 

Rafael Nadal sent warm wishes to Roger Federer for the documentary release

Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer had one of the greatest rivalries in the sport. Both of them were the main highlight in almost every tournament they played and this rivalry turned into friendship over time. Towards the end of Federer’s career, they had become very close friends.
