The Making Cup It may be a minor event on the calendar given its friendly nature, but it cannot be denied that it knows how to give emotional moments. The clearest example of this was the 2022 edition, the farewell scene for Roger Federer. After a year and a half of injuries, the Swiss hung up his racket after a doubles with Rafael Nadal that remained for history. A year later, Her Majesty had a hilarious response about that moment.
From great rivals to teammates, Roger and Rafa built a friendship that ended with a match in pairs against the Americans Jack Sock and Frances Tiafoe. Last weekend in Vancouver, the manacorí appeared in a video in which he asked the Swiss man a clear question: “Hello Roger, I hope you are well, I have a question for you. Who has been your favorite doubles partner? ”.
There, the winner of 20 Grand Slams, and considered the GOAT of tennis by many, appealed to a sense of humor: “Mmm… I mean… I thought she was my wife until this man, Rafa, appeared to occupy that place… Last year was special on another level. We will share it forever,” he shot, to laughter in the stadium.
Then, Federer He told how the former player takes life and revealed that he likes to go see tournaments in person, as happened at the last Wimbledon: “Of course I miss everything about the game. The exciting moments on the court, lifting trophies, the fans. It’s “all part of a happy family on the circuit. I still have those moments from time to time. I promised myself that I would not be a stranger on the circuit,” he said.
Finally, the Swiss left open the door to becoming captain of the Europe team. The one who asked him the question was another legend like Bjon Borg, leader of the team that lost the Laver Cup to the Rest of the World for the second year in a row: “Why not someday? I don’t think right away, but I’m open to “I want to give back to the game in some way and captaining the Laver Cup would be one of those ways.”
