Federer, Murray, Nadal, Djokovic share same court at Laver Cup in epic session
Roger Federer, Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal have all played out an intense rivalry with one another on the court over the last decade and beyond, with a simply ridiculous amount of Grand Slam titles between them.
Last week, Federer decided the time was right to hang up his racket in terms of professional tennis, with this week’s Laver Cup his final swansong before bowing out of the sport that has made him a global superstar.
It’s an incredibly sad time in the sport, with Serena Williams deciding to retire recently as well, it really is the end of an era in the sport. Especially with Nadal and Murray slipping down the rankings after injury issues.
Federer, Murray, Djokovic and Nadal have been the standard bearers for professional tennis for as long as we can remember, with the four a four-midable (if you pardon the pun) force in the sport.
However, it is the end of an era, as we won’t see the rivalry continue between the four given the latest retirements and injuries, it really is a sad time for tennis fans everywhere.
However, thankfully for us, the quad are all on court together at the moment with the Laver Cup seeing all four compete in London.
Whilst warming up in front of the fans for the Laver Cup, all four really did put on a show, taking each other on in a training session, with Federer teaming up with Nadal and Murray forming an allegiance with Djokovic.
It’s a shame that the match-up only happened in a practice session, but we won’t complain, seeing the four go head-to-head, even in a casual setting, it’s the stuff of dreams for tennis fans.
