Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal were a part of the inaugural Laver Cup-winning Team Europe. It made for an iconic moment, with the Spaniard jumping onto the Swiss in celebration.

Recalling the moment, Tony Godick said that sort of display of camaraderie is what makes a tournament like the Laver Cup great.
“That’s what I like about the tournament, that it gives you the option to have these kinds of images, which you won’t see in any other event. That photo of Rafael Nadal jumping into Roger Federer’s arms is iconic,” Federer’s agent said.
Federer retired from the sport at the 2022 Laver Cup, playing his final match in the doubles. He partnered none other than Nadal but lost a three-set encounter to Jack Sock and Frances Tiafoe.
