One of the most legendary careers in tennis history came to an end on Friday night as 20-time Grand Slam singles champion Roger Federer played his final match.
Teamed up with Rafael Nadal representing Europe in a double match against Frances Tiafoe and Jack Sock of Team World. It was an excellent match that came down to a tiebreaker, but Federer and Nadal ultimately came up short after winning the first set.
It was clearly an emotional moment on the court in London at the Laver Cup as Federer completed the final match of his practically unparalleled 24-year professional career.
Team World triumphs in the doubles.
