Much-Awaited Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer?s Team-Up at Laver Cup Tumbles Down As Swiss Maestro?s Participation Becomes Tentative

Since last year, Roger Federer hasn’t played on any surface. His fans are eagerly anticipating his return to the court. For the past two seasons, Federer has struggled with ailments, with his knee being a particularly aggravating and recurrent problem.

In the chase to capture the most Grand Slam titles, the Swiss has fallen behind his contemporaries and rivals Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. The awaited comeback is still a long way for Roger Federer as he might not be making his comeback anytime soon if the latest reports are to be believed.

Roger Federer delays his much-awaited Laver cup comeback

The Swiss superstar, Federer revealed in August last year that he had undergone a third knee operation as a result of suffering a fourth injury during the grass-court season. But, there are rumours that he might not make it to the Laver?s cup this year as he is not fully recovered from the injury and his fans have to wait a little longer to see their legend play in full form.

As per sources, he might be present in the match but if the rumors are accurate, it wouldn’t be a good idea to compete. According to Laver Cup rules, they need to play at least one singles and one doubles to keep their name in the tournament. Roger was the first member chosen for Team Europe and he would be devastated to have been left out. He was supposed to take part alongside the Big four in the Laver cup. He was supposed to play with his arch nemesis, Rafael Nadal. After 2019, this would be the first time when both of the top tennis players would be seen on the same court.
