When Federer entered the Arena, a little behind Nadal, a tempest of emotions blew across the Greenwich Peninsula. The acoustics of a love song. "We'll get through this somehow," Federer told spectators after the closing notes that accompanied his last dance. "Everything was for the last time (today), tying my shoelaces one more time… I didn't want to feel alone tonight. I wanted it to be a celebration at the end, it is exactly what I hoped for." Later in his last post-match media interactions, which finished past 2 am (BST), the Swiss gave himself a thumbs up for the way he handled emotions on the court. "I wanted to have an evening where I did not have to take the mic. I know how impossible I am on the mic when I'm emotional," Federer said. "I was able to remind myself on the court how wonderful this is. I was able to get a second wind and at least say everything I have wanted to say. This is not the end-end, life goes on. I'm healthy, I'm happy, everything's great, and this is just a moment in time." And what a moment it was, with his other great rival "Looking around and seeing how everybody got emotional, it's even better, or even worse, I'm not sure what to say," Federer said, adding, "What I will remember is the faces I saw, Rafa was one of them." The post-match festivities were wrapped up with Ellie Golding singing, 'still falling for you'. "No one can lift me, catch me the way that you do I'm still falling for you…" If Federer cried hard, Nadal cried harder. "When ...

"I think at one point, I was sobbing so hard, and I don’t know, everything was going through my mind about how happy I am to actually experience this moment right there with everybody. And I think that’s what was so beautiful about just sitting there, taking it all in while the music was playing, and the focus was maybe more on her [the singer Ellie Goulding].

Throughout the final week of Roger Federer’s life as a professional tennis player, he handled his emotions far better than he had envisioned. But at the end of his final match alongside his rival Rafael Nadal, a tense 4-6, 7-6 11-9 loss representing Team Europe against Team World’s Jack Sock and Frances Tiafoe at the Laver Cup in London’s O2 Arena, the 41-year-old finally succumbed. As the tears began to fall, alongside him Nadal wept, too. After 18 years of meeting each other on the court, contesting some of the fiercest battles in the biggest finals around the world, they spent the final moments of Federer’s career on the same side. Before Federer’s first grand slam title at Wimbledon in 2003, men’s tennis was at a crossroads. As the influence of top US players waned, some believed the immediate future of the sport was bleak. But first Federer arrived, playing in his seemingly effortless way, driven by his endless toolbox of shots and learning how to harness his audacious talents, and then Nadal followed as a perfect foil, his physical, topspin-heavy style marking them as stark opposites. Between 2004 and 2019, they faced each other 40 times in singles. Their excellence pushed men’s tennis, and each other, to incredible heights, leading to what many consider a golden era when Their rivalry has always been professional and friendly, but Federer and Nadal have over time become increasingly close. Nadal’s wife, Maria, is due to give birth to their first child soon, but Frid...

The tennis world erupted after the unfortunate episode given the gentle nature of the lobbed return that made the ballkid cry. The ball girl was visibly upset by the incident. Credit: French Open Kato earned significant support in the wake of the incident as Bouzkova and Sorribes Tormo bore the brunt of the heavy criticism. French tennis player Lucas Pouille called their behaviour “shameful” while countryman Gilles Simon hoped “they (would) have a little trouble falling asleep”. Alize Cornet, another local hero, said it was an “insane decision” and sent a pointed message to Kato’s opponents. Kyrgios also had little sympathy for Sorribes Tormo and Bouzkova over fan criticism on their Instagram posts. “Boo hoo,” he wrote. “All around the world, whether it be having people chanting your name, idolising you, getting booed at, it’s always going to be a factor in sport,” Kyrgios added. But Kyrgios noted that rules were rules and the disqualification was just bad luck. Spain’s Sara Sorribes Tormo has not had much sympathy since the ballkid saga.
