ANOTHER record 🔓 @DjokerNole breaks the tie with Roger Federer for most #NittoATPFinals titles!
Former world number one Roger Federer has thrown his name to become a captain in the Laver Cup. The 42-year-old is often regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of men’s singles tennis in the Open era, having won as many as 20 Grand Slam titles.
Federer was recently quoted in a report where he expressed interest in becoming the captain of a team in the Laver Cup. “I could see myself being a captain,” he said.
In the recent past, the likes of the former world number one Bjorn Borg & John McEnroe have captained the teams in the competition and it is believed that their time as the leader of their respective teams is coming to an end.
Federer retired from the sport back in September 2022 after struggling with fitness concerns for a long period of time.
The Basel-born, in his illustrious career, achieved many milestones. He became the first player ever in the men’s singles category in the Open era to win more than 15 Grand Slams. That’s not it as he also became the first player ever to win 20 Grand Slams in the men’s singles category.
His most successful competition was Wimbledon where he ended up lifting the title eight times which is the most by a player in the competition’s history.
