A Berlin, où se déroulera la Laver Cup entre vendredi et dimanche, les capitaines de la team Europe, Bjorn Borg, et de la team monde, John McEnroe ont reçu la visite mardi du père fondateur de l'événement, Roger Federer. Le natif de Bâle avait d'ailleurs mis un terme à sa carrière en 2022 à Londres dans cette même compétition. Le Suisse connaîtra sa deuxième édition en tant que retraité, lui qui avait participé aux quatre premières rencontres. Le Maestro a profité de l'occasion pour... aller sur le court, raquette en main et c'est toujours aussi beau à voir, non ?

00:30Enjoying my slice.
00:34We are too.
00:38Be careful, don't give me too many compliments.
00:42I'll speak to Bjorn too.
00:54It's always special to come back for this event, the Labour Cup.
00:58What was your idea years ago and how awesome is it to see it again?
01:28Time to switch frames and go to the RF01.
01:32That's a good one.
01:34Back in my memories at the Labour Cup, some have been incredible.
01:37Just being on the bench as Bjorn Borg, being in the locker room with Novak and Rafa and Murray.
01:42My retirement two years ago has been incredible.
01:45Going out there and feeling the support of the best players in the world is a very special feeling.
01:51Seeing Rod Labour in the stands and enjoying it and thinking that this has been wonderful for his legacy.
01:57When I see the players, I feel always they're so happy to be coming together.
02:01I think the camaraderie, I think we all like having team events.
02:04I think that Team Europe is very strong this year.
02:08In the singles matches, we are heavy favourites.
02:11And then the doubles, I feel like most are going to go Team World's way.
02:14This week, a little nostalgic, a bittersweet, because Bjorn and John last year being captains.
02:20I want them to be really happy this week and not sad in any way.
02:23I'm sure it's going to be a great week.
