Federer/Nadal vs Querrey/Sock - Laver Cup 2017 Highlights (HD)

Highlights of the first time Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal united on a doubles court. In the words of Tomas Berdych, one of the lesser lights on the European Laver Cup team: “Everyone was waiting for this moment since they announced this event is going to happen. This is the time. So I think it's almost like a celebration of tennis.” Federer and Nadal overcame Jack Sock and Sam Querrey to give Team Europe an important advantage in the penultimate day of the competition. Querrey and Sock made challenging opponents, particularly Sock, who won the Wimbledon doubles title in 2014 with his then partner Vasek Pospisil. After the match, Nadal said: "It was an unforgettable day, after the history behind us to be on the same part of the court fighting for the team is something we enjoyed a lot." Federer added: "For me, personally, it is a great moment too. We only ever practised once together, back at the World Tour Finals, so we don’t show each other a lot. We will always be rivals. But this was something very special, it was an absolute pleasure being on the court with Rafa and seeing his decision-making process. I understand that people only expect a win from us, but it’s very complicated, we’re playing indoors against the big servers, and I hadn’t played doubles for so long, I was trying to remember what to do. The two of us getting together, our two fan groups having to get together, that was interesting too. It was a success, but this isn’t just about us. The celebration of Rod Laver and having John and Bjorn there over-rides the doubles, but this was still an important moment for us."
