WATCH Roger Federer gets a standing ovation like no other from fans at Laver Cup in his farewell appearance

By Shyam Kamal Modified 23 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Roger Federer received a standing ovation from fans at the 2022 Laver Cup in his farewell appearance Roger Federer walked out of the tunnel at the 2022 Laver Cup to a standing ovation of the highest order, marking a fitting tribute to the Swiss maestro in his farewell tournament. Representing Team Europe in the competition, the 20-time Grand Slam champion was the last to be introduced to the crowd in attendance, following the likes of 22-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal and 21-time Major winner Novak Djokovic. While the rest of his team received their fair bit of applause as well, the biggest of the night was reserved for the 41-year-old without question.

Roger Federer will be playing a doubles match alongside Rafael Nadal at the 2022 Laver Cup

Laver Cup 2022 - Day One Unfortunately, fans will not be lucky enough to see Roger Federer play any singles matches in his farewell tournament, as he is scheduled to play only a doubles match at the 2022 Laver Cup. The Swiss maestro is all set to partner with Rafael Nadal later today and take on Frances Tiafoe and Jack Sock in the night session, the final match of his 24-year-long ATP career. Explaining the decision in his press conference, the former World No. 1 revealed that he did not want to overexert his body and that he had requested team captain Bjorn Borg to allow him to play just a doubles encounter. At the end of today, Matte Berrettini will enter the line-up and relieve the 41-year-old of his duties. Cameron Norrie, meanwhile, will take up Berrettini's place as the alternate. "This is an ATP event that I don't want to mess with, but at the same time, I know my limitations and that is why I asked Bjorn [Borg] if it was okay if I played maybe just one doubles, and I guess that one would have to be on Friday night," Federer said. "And then Matteo [Berrettini] would come in for me and have to play for me on Saturday. Bjorn said that it was totally fine. He spoke to John [McEnroe] as well. They spoke to the tournament and the ATP if that was okay and everybody said that it was fine."
