Rafa spoke about Roger ahead of the US Open, praising his great rival and hoping to see him back on the court soon.
Nadal and Federer played together for the first time during the first edition of the Laver Cup in Prague 2017.
They faced Jack Sock and Sam Querrey and scored a 6-4, 1-6, 10-5 victory to push Team Europe 9-3 in front. Sock and Querrey had a chance to spoil Federer’s and Nadal’s party.
They faced only one break chance in the entire clash (the one that cost them the opener) and created nine break opportunities, seizing two in the second set.
Both teams found the rhythm on serve early in the opener, delivering six comfortable holds before Sock lost serve at 3-3.
Nadal served to confirm the break in game eight, and he and Roger played against four break chances. The legends stayed calm and repelled them to cement the advantage.
Suddenly, Roger and Rafa lost their magic in set number two.
Team World raised their level to dominate and force a decider.

Like true champions, Federer and Nadal picked up their game again and raced into an 8-1 lead thanks to three mini-breaks.
Ready to fight, the Americans reduced the deficit to 9-5. Nonetheless, that was all we saw from them, as Rafa and Roger claimed the 15th point to seal the deal and celebrate their first and only victory on the same side of the court.
