"I love competing in it" says Nadal after being confirmed for the 2022 Laver Cup

Rafael Nadal will join Roger Federer at the 2022 Laver Cup in London and the Spaniard was excited to be back.

Nadal has been part of the Laver Cup twice, in Prague and then again in Geneva in 2019. He paired up with Federer for their first and only doubles match together at the inaugural Laver Cup in Prague back in 2017, delighting fans who revelled in the unique experience of the long-time rivals becoming teammates as they beat Americans Sam Querrey and Jack Sock in three sets.

On returning to the competition, he said:

"The Laver Cup is such a unique event and I’ve loved competing in it. I suggested to Roger we should play doubles together in London and he seems keen, so now we just need to persuade our captain Bjorn!”

He further added:

“Roger has been a huge part of my career, a big rival and also a true friend. To be part of Team Europe together is great and if we’re able to possibly share the court one more time as a doubles pairing then this would be a truly special experience for us both at this stage in our careers.”
