“It was tough, the whole comeback was extremely difficult. I was so far from 100 per cent. Reaching the quarter-finals at Wimbledon was unbelievable for me. The last set against [Hurbert] Hurkacz was one of the worst hours of my career. Maybe I can play doubles with Rafa, that would be an absolute dream.”
Nadal currently leads the way in the all-time men’s singles charts with 22 Grand Slams, but Federer is not far behind on 20. The duo, who could team up at the O2, contested some timeless matches including the 2008 Wimbledon final, which the Spaniard won in a five-set marathon.
With evidence mounting up that Federer’s condition will be good enough to compete, the Swiss teased more on Instagram with claims of ‘one more match’.
