Having appeared in all but one edition of the Laver Cup, the 41-year-old reminisced about his doubles partnership with Rafael Nadal back in 2017 in Prague. "Working as a team with my closest rivals is absolutely exhilarating," Roger Federer admitted. "Playing doubles with Rafa at the Laver Cup for the first time in Prague was super special. It is always a pleasure and honor to share the court with players like Rafa. And it’s something that I thoroughly enjoy at the same time." Federer recalled how palpable the Spaniard's energy was from the sidelines whilst cheering on Team Europe, almost comparable to his animated demeanor while supporting Real Madrid at their home stadium at the Santiago Bernabeu. "The team dynamics combine the competitive intensity alongside a unique energy that allows us to visibly and vocally demonstrate our passion for the sport," he continued. "Watching Rafa's emotions on the Team Europe bench looks like he's at the Bernabéu Stadium supporting Real Madrid and that will fire up anyone."

"As singles players, we don't get to do it enough in my opinion and tennis can be a lonely sport at times. I really look forward to competing in team events like the Davis Cup and the Olympics. This is my first time playing at the Laver Cup, I've heard good things and I'm looking forward to teaming up with some of my rivals."
