They will take on American duo Jack Sock and Frances Tiafoe in Friday\u2019s last match.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a different kind of pressure to be part of this historic moment,\u201d Nadal, who has shared an epic career-long rivalry with Federer, told reporters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s going to be something amazing and unforgettable for me. I\u2019m super excited. maybe we can create a good moment and maybe win the match.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Federer cut a relaxed figure as he sat with his European team mates including 21-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic and three-time major winner Andy Murray.<\/p>\n<p>He had said previous day that it would be beautiful to play his last match on the same side of the net as Spaniard Nadal and captain Borg, unsurprisingly, obliged.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not sure if I can handle (all the emotions) but I will try,\u201d Federer, whose presence had fans flocking to watch practice sessions on Thursday, said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis one feels a whole lot different. I\u2019m happy to have him on my team and not playing against him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo be able to do it one more time, I\u2019m sure it will be wonderful and I\u2019ll try my very best.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Martyn Herman; editing by Pritha Sarkar)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/tennis-federer-and-nadal-team\/laver-cup-media-day-4\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8L0M5-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8L0M5-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/tennis-federer-and-nadal-team\/laver-cup-media-day\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8L0JZ-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8L0JZ-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/tennis-federer-and-nadal-team\/laver-cup-media-day-2\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8L0JE-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8L0JE-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/tennis-federer-and-nadal-team\/laver-cup-media-day-3\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8L0JJ-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8L0JJ-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Martyn Herman LONDON (Reuters) -Swiss icon Roger Federer will bring the curtain down on his glittering career by teaming up with great rival Rafa Nadal at the Laver Cup<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":1889133,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1652916","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_finder_url":"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/tennis-federer-and-nadal-team\/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tennis-federer-and-nadal-team","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1652916","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1652916"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1652916\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1889133"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1652916"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1652916"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1652916"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
