Ever since Rafael Nadal announced that this season will be the last one in his glorious career, fans have been wondering how it will be. Just like every other tennis legend who received a warm farewell, fans expect to big a glorious goodbye to the Spaniard as well. While everyone was curious to note the events in his upcoming schedule, it seems like Rafa is planning to go off in Roger Federer style.

Recently, Laver Cup’s official X (formerly Twitter) handle shared an update, notifying fans of Rafael Nadal’s re-entry into the event. The update also delved into details, mentioning that the Spaniard will be joining hands with Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev, and Alexander Zverev to represent Team Europe, led by Bjorn Borg.

This update not only came out as a delight for the fans to witness their favorite tennis star in cooperative action but also aroused a sense of nostalgia. The spectators who have been following the event for a long time might already be aware of the weightage that this event has in the glorious careers of players like Rafa and Roger Federer.

Back in 2o22, the Swiss tennis maestro admitted to the fact that it was time that he hung his racket for good. While his body didn’t allow him to wait for another season to pass, he decided to end his career with the Laver Cup. As Rafa is also set to be a part of the event, he might likely follow in the footsteps of his friend and co-player.

While there’s still no confirmation about which event could be his last, his last moments as a professional tennis player are yet to unfold moments that will always be reflected in the history books of the sport.

“I have some really special memories from my Laver Cup experiences, including all the emotions from London two years ago playing alongside Roger for the last time,” he said, remembering how both of them dominated the courts.
