Andy Murray and Federer play on the same side for the first time in Laver Cup from September 23–25, they will join fellow “Big Four” members.
At the Laver Cup, which runs from September 23–25, Andy Murray and Federer will compete alongside fellow “Big Four” members Rafa Nadal and Novak Djokovic for the first time.
Federer, 41, revealed on Thursday that he would end his illustrious career after the men’s team competition because to ongoing injury difficulties. Federer changed the sport with his creativity and grace while winning 20 Grand Slam titles.
“Maybe I (will) get the opportunity to share a court with him in doubles or something like that. That would be really special,” Murray after he and Joe Salisbury lost a deciding doubles tie for Britain in the Davis Cup on Friday.
“I don’t know how much he will be able to play. I haven’t spoken to him about that.”
Murray lost the 2012 Wimbledon final to Federer before beating him to Olympic gold, while the pair also contested the Australian Open and U.S. Open finals.
“I was lucky to get to compete against him in some of the biggest matches, in the biggest tournaments, on the biggest stages in our sport,” added Murray, who last played Federer competitively in 2015.
“At the time I probably didn’t appreciate it as much, but looking back, it’s pretty amazing… It’s a sad, sad day for the sport.”
