Most important player in my tennis career is leaving - Rafael Nadal on Roger Federer ahead of 2022 Laver Cup
By Bhargav Modified 22 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Rafael Nadal has called Federer the most important player in his career. Rafael Nadal will miss Roger Federer, the most important player in his career, as the Swiss maestro is retiring following the Laver Cup this weekend. Federer will play the last match of his illustrious career with his good friend and arch-rival on Friday against Jack Sock and Frances Tiafoe. Federer and Nadal are widely regarded as two of the best players in the sport's history. Having won over 1000 singles matches and 20 Grand Slam titles apiece, they have had a rivalry that transcends the sport. Federer - who trails Nadal 24-16 - has crossed swords with the Spaniard in the biggest matches of his career. The Spaniard has won six of his 22 Major titles by beating Federer in the final. While Nadal is still going strong - winning two Grand Slams this year - Federer hasn't played competitively since Wimbledon last year. The 41-year-old underwent knee surgery and has suffered multiple setbacks in his quest to return to action. Last week, the legendary Swiss announced that the Laver Cup this weekend would be his last tournament. Shortly after the Day 1 schedule came out, Federer confirmed that his doubles clash alongside Nadal would be the final match of his career.
