Rafael Nadal even almost made it public’, says former star
But then Federer called Nadal to inform him of his plans to retire at the Laver Cup at the end of September. During the call, Federer told Nadal that he would like to retire by playing a doubles match with him. Nadal arrived in London and the rest is history as the scenes from the Laver Cup made headlines around the world.
“Incredibly, a lot of emotions. If you are inside, you know that Rafa and Roger get along well. Rafa could have been a father any day in London at that time and he was still there. Roger is incredibly popular. You become a fan of him relatively quickly.

Last week, Federer appeared on The Daily Show. During his appearance, they asked him to recall what his telephone conversation with Nadal was like. “I had to call him and say, hey Rafa (Nadal), just before we make other plans, I would love for you to be at the Laver Cup and play maybe one last doubles with me.”

“It’s not because a player is particularly physical or athletic that he is doped. You have to be careful with this kind of shortcut. We could also see players who were taken for doping and we said to ourselves, ‘but no, not him, it’s weird’, because it’s not the physics we imagine for a doped guy.”
