Joke between Nadal and Djokovic: “He’s used to it”

London hosts these days the greatest concentration of tennis legends in living memory. Roger Federer’s departure from the Laver Cup brings together the three most successful players in history who, in addition to fighting for victory against the team from the rest of the world, took the opportunity to enjoy themselves and have a good time.

The good vibes between them are obvious, and not just between Federer and Nadal. The Balearic starred in a fun moment with Novak Djokovic on Thursday night.

They were coming from a boat trip organized by the tournament as one of the previous promotional events, and they did not hesitate to comment on how the experience was.

It’s a privilege to be here. I am very grateful to have been a part of this era. Roger’s legacy will live on foreverDjokovic said.

While Nadal emphasized that “Being with Roger again is something I look forward to and it makes me very happy. I didn’t need to hear this news to know the end was near“said the Balearic when asked if Federer’s announcement made him see his departure in the future. “This is the normal cycle of life. Someone leaves, someone comes. This is nothing new. History repeats itself,” he added.

“This time it’s up to us. In this particular case he is one of the most important, if not the most important in this sport, and he is leaving after a long and successful career. It’s sad news and it was a difficult day when he announced it.”
