Laver Cup - Tiafoe on Nadal and Federer: "In the end, they hold hands".
Frances Tiafoe will be in Berlin this weekend to try and hold off the European armada (5 members of the top 10 will be present) at the eighth edition of the Laver Cup.
Interviewed a few days before the start of hostilities, the American recalled a moment that has marked tennis history forever: Roger Federer's farewell at the 2022 Laver Cup and Rafael Nadal's emotion at that very moment.
For the record, he played doubles alongside Jack Sock against Nadal and Federer.
In comments relayed by the competition's website, he declared: "They love and respect each other, it's crazy.
I was a kid of eight or nine watching these guys fight against each other. And at the end, they're holding hands.
It shows the respect they have for each other. One guy, Spanish, barely spoke English when he started. The other, you'd think he was American, he speaks English so well.
They seem very different. But they love each other and the respect they have for each other is incredible.
It was probably the coolest thing you'd ever see. It was cool to live that moment."
