LONDON : Roger Federer's retirement from competitive tennis will leave a void that can never be filled, according to former world number one and seven-time Grand Slam singles champion John McEnroe.
John McEnroe says Roger Federer and Serena Williams are "irreplaceable" but that tennis "goes on no matter what" as the Swiss prepares to play his final match on Friday.
John McEnroe has not held back in hyping up what we are about to witness as Roger Federer prepares to bow out from tennis alongside his great rival Rafael Nadal at the Laver Cup. Federer and Nadal will join forces for Team Europe in the hotly-anticipated doubles rubber on Friday night at the O2 Arena in London with the 41-year-old Swiss superstar set to retire from competitive tennis after the event.
John McEnroe has insisted that Team World won't be «villains» if they spoil Roger Federer's farewell with victory at the Laver Cup. Federer, who has announced he will retire after the event, will play alongside long-time rival Rafael Nadal against McEnroe's chosen pairing of Frances Tiafoe and Jack Sock on the opening day of action in London. Ad The doubles encounter will be the 41-year-old's final professional tennis match as he prepares to call time on his career.
The 20-time Grand Slam champion will play doubles with the Spaniard, who has won 22 majors, at the O2 arena in London on Friday.
John McEnroe does not believe the men’s “GOAT” race will be decided by the number of Grand Slam victories, even if Rafael Nadal or Novak Djokovic go on to win five more majors. Speaking to Eurosport ahead of the Laver Cup, Team World captain McEnroe – himself a seven-time Grand Slam champion – was joined by old rival and Team Europe captain Bjorn Borg to discuss Federer’s impending retirement.
Roger Federer hopes for «one more beautiful moment” alongside Rafael Nadal at the Laver Cup, telling Eurosport's Barbara Schett that he wants to line up alongside his great friend and rival in the doubles at the event. The Swiss is set to retire after the Laver Cup this weekend in London and confirmed on Wednesday that he will most likely compete just in the doubles.
Roger Federer will bring the curtain down on his illustrious career with a doubles match in London on Friday night – and he hopes it will be alongside Rafael Nadal.
