The Federer Nadal rivalry has been termed as greatest ever. Both have faced each other 40 times in the last 15 years with Nadal leading the way with 24-16. But after almost one and a half-decade it was a dream come true moment for any tennis fan when Roger Federer was seen giving brilliant coaching tips to Rafael Nadal during a sturdy challenge from Milos Raonic.
Witnessing Bjorn Borg, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in one frame was a treat to the eyes. We must thank Laver Cup, which gave these three legends the platform to team up for the Team Europe’s charge in the tournament.

The trio camaraderie did wonders for the Team Europe who clinched the trophy third time in a row.
The Swiss star performance in helping his team maintain their 100 per cent record at the newly-formed event.
It looked a collective team effort, even Nadal was seen advising the teammates almost in every match. He stood court side during the matches closely analyzing the performances.
