The withdrawal of Rafael Nadal from the 2024 Laver Cup, which occurred last minute, has not gone unnoticed by anyone, especially not by Roger Federer. The Swiss, one of the event's organizers, was one of the last to comment on the situation of the Spaniard, who finds himself in a position of uncertainty regarding his future. After the Olympics, the Spaniard had set his sights on the event in Berlin, but now that was crossed off his calendar.

"Time wears you down. In the end, it may be useful to make a decision at some point. And if it were to end once and for all, you would also relax again and say: 'Luckily there's no more training, luckily there's no more matches...'," confessed Roger Federer in an interview with the magazine MOPO. The Swiss almost lives it from that experience two years ago when he retired after several attempts and knee problems, although this time, Nadal's issues do not seem to be physical, at least not as far as we know.

By announcing his absence from the Laver Cup, Rafa left many questions unanswered, almost closing his season, with some hoping to see him in Malaga competing for Spain in the Davis Cup: "I had high hopes that somehow he would manage to play a match, but he simply told us he preferred not to, that he can't and doesn't feel prepared," Roger tells. "I think he has to decide what to do next, and I think that's the moment he is going through right now".

Federer pays tribute to Nadal

"He's done everything for this sport. It would be great if he could hold on for one more season, but only Rafa himself can answer that question." And there remains a big question mark about when it will be resolved, and we don't even know if Nadal himself knows the solution. According to Federer's words, the Swiss remains hopeful to see the Spaniard competing again in his team event.
