Although the American player was excited to witness Federer accompanying Nadal in his last tournament, it was also a goosebumps moment for him. Not only that, two years ago, it was the 22-time Grand Slam champion who stepped up to play doubles with Federer as a part of his last tournament.

Witnessing something similar would be great, as it won’t be that difficult for the Swiss tennis legend to just swing his racket and play a bit with his rival in his last game. Further, he added, “If I see those two just cruise down for like another hit. Oh my God, how good that would be! I had not thought about it yet, John, and now you’re saying it, and it’s your fault if I’m disappointed.”
