The tennis community had an emotional moment at the 2022 Lavers Cup where the big three Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Roger Federer were playing for the same team. This was Federer’s last ever game in professional tennis and his farewell speech made the whole world cry with him. The Big Three were part of Team Europe and had unfortunately lost against Team World. The duo of Federer and Nadal lost to Frances Tiafoe and Jack Sock in three sets.

“It was always going to be hard, especially with my retirement. Rafa being injured, and Novak taking a break, I understood that, obviously, completely. Murray may not come back again, it’s understandable. Look it is what it is, I still think it’s going to be a great weekend.” Said Federer in a recent interview with Laver’s Cup press. Despite the absence of the Big 4, the Swiss maintain a positive mindset and an optimistic outlook. He emphasizes that the Laver’s Cup will continue to be a momentous occasion in the tennis calendar.
