The 2022 Laver Cup was an emotional one for the entire tennis community. It marked the end of an era – Roger Federer, one of the greatest to ever step foot on the court, was retiring from tennis. There was no dry eye in the house as the player, filled with raw talent, created magic on and off the court.
