Laver Cup 2022 exclusive: Andy Murray, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic get candid about their off-court friendship and rivalry in this new interview...
The tennis stars are part of Laver Cup's Team Europe September 21, 2022 - 12:48 BST Sharnaz Shahid They have 63 Grand Slam trophies between them and have delivered some of the greatest moments in tennis history. And now tennis fans are about to see the Big Four - Andy Murray, Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal - team up on the court when they compete - not against each other, but as teammates - at this year's Laver Cup.
Coming together as part of Team Europe, the tennis greats will be joined by Casper Ruud and Stefanos Tsitsipas while Björn Borg will take the helm as Captain and Thomas Enqvist as their Vice Captain.SEE: Inside Prince George's private tennis lessons with Wimbledon star Roger Federer Can it be lonely on the professional tennis circuit as you're very focussed on solo success? Roger: Not in my opinion. We all have a common goal to win, but more importantly we understand the locker room dynamics work better as a group for the benefit of the sport which supports us and provides us the opportunities to play and have an impact.
Being on the same team, do you get to see a different side of each other? Roger: There's always a sense of tension and healthy competition on the court and locker room throughout a tournament. When rivals become teammates you see a different side as there is one common goal. We pump each other up. We motivate and support each other in practice. It's amazing and inspiring to see how much we all care.
What are some of the things you guys get up to behind the scenes during major tournaments? Roger: During major tournaments, our spare time is centred around preparation for every match. We work closely with our teams to make sure we are both physically and mentally positioned as best as possible. Additionally, I like to have the balance of spending time with my friends and family. And when it's feasible, I like to enjoy and explore the exciting cities where we are fortunate to compete.
