Swiss Maestro Roger Federer, who announced his retirement from the sport days before the start of Laver Cup, decided to team up with dear rival Rafael Nadal for one last time to end his career on a high. While the duo lost their match to Jack Sock and Frances Tiafoe of team World, Federer received the best farewell as Nadal, Djokovic, and others got emotional as the Swiss star delivered his final speech.

One of the planned celebrations during Federer’s final match was British singer and song-writer Ellie Goulding’s performance. The singer went on to pay homage to Roger with her voice as the latter went around the stadium to meet colleagues and family.

“Such an honour. Team Federer and Team Lava Cup were so lovely. Thank you for asking me,” Goulding wrote.

While everything was smooth in her message, Ellie made a blunder by writing Lava Cup instead of Laver Cup and fans on Twitter had a gala time pointing out the same to the British singer.

“Ellie delete this asap,” wrote a Federer fan.

Another fan found the tweet funny as he felt that the term ‘lava’ is an apt description of team Europe.

“Team Lava makes so much more sense,” wrote the fan.

An enthusiast went on to describe the blunder with an epic visual GIF.

As the internet is known for its creativity, a fan termed a hilarious name for Federer if team Europe went on to win the event.

“Federer if team Europe bungles this for him!,” wrote the user.

“Team what??,” exclaimed another user.

Another fan put out a statement criticizing the singer, “Turns out her research skills are worse than her live singing.”

Another frustrated fun commented on her performance.

“Girl, you ruined everything at Lava Cup on Friday.”

Another fan pointed out Goulding’s ignorance as the comment read, “Ellie Goulding doesn’t even know where she sang at..Comedy cold!!”

Perhaps the best reaction to Goulding’s tweet came from tennis journalist Tumaini Carayol as he cleverly brought in Rod Laver into the mix.

“Rod Lava,” he wrote.

Another fan tried to find out the reason behind this blunder.

“I’m blaming the British accent for this one.”

Despite the funny criticism that came her way, Ellie Goulding recognized her mistake and wrote, “Haha oops, @LaverCup.”

Team Europe on the backseat on day-3 of Laver Cup

Coming to the final day of the Laver Cup, Team World has bounced back in an emphatic fashion as they bagged three crucial points by winning the first match. Just when team Europe were expecting Novak Djokovic to resurrect their dominance, the Serbian icon couldn’t get past an in-form Felix Auger-Aliassime.

Djokovic‘s unexpected defeat puts team Europe in the back seat as they will now have to win the next two matches to have any chance of winning a fifth Laver Cup crown.
