Rafael Nadal was right beside Roger Federer when he retired from professional tennis at the 2022 Laver Cup, but the Spaniard has conceded that his former rival may not be there for his own farewell at the Davis Cup.

Ivan Ljubicic coached Roger Federer for seven years, but his experience on the court didn't help ease the pain of the dreaded prospect of facing Rafael Nadal on clay at the French Open

Novak Djokovic will feel a little more alone next year.

Botic van de Zandschulp has claimed that Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer still have something over Novak Djokovic even though the Serb has ended the ‘greatest of all time’ debate. Djokovic has won the most Grand Slam titles in the Open Era and spent the most weeks at No. 1.

At 38, Rafael Nadal ends a 20-year tennis career, becoming the second of the "Big Three" to retire after Roger Federer’s 2022 farewell. Meanwhile, Novak Djokovic remains at the top of the sport.
