It’s no secret that I love this competition and I can’t wait to return to the O2 Arena in London in one of the coolest cities in the world. Rafa is an amazing person, an inspiration to me and so many other people around the world. He messaged me after the Laver Cup in Boston last year and suggested we play doubles together in London. I’m in for the return of “Fedal” in the Laver Cup! »

“The Laver Cup is a unique competition, I love playing it, explained Nadal, a few days after his coronation at the Australian Open. I suggested to Roger that we play the double ensemble in London, he seems willing. Now it remains to convince our captain Björn! Roger holds a very important place in my career, he is a great rival and a true friend. Being part of Team Europe together is great. If we can share the court once again as doubles partners, it would be a really special experience for both of us at this stage of our careers. »
