Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal playing doubles together – sounds like every tennis fans’ dream pairing. Well, it looks like that dream might soon become a reality.

The inaugural edition of the Laver Cup, which will pit the top 6 European players against the top 6 players from the rest of the world, is scheduled to take place from 22nd to 24th September this year. Speaking at the unveiling in Prague, Federer declared, “I’ve always wanted to play with Rafa, just because our rivalry has been so special.

“I’ve seen his wicked forehand go past me too often!”

And as tennis fans, we can only keep our fingers crossed!
