Federer
had
announced
he
would
be
retiring
following
the
tournament
and
was
then
only
fit
to
feature
in
one
doubles
match.
But
that
gave
the
Swiss
great
the
opportunity
to
team
up
with
Nadal,
with
the
duo
falling
to
a
narrow
and
entertaining
4-6
7-6
(7-2)
11-9
loss
to
Jack
Sock
and
Frances
Tiafoe
at
the
O2
Arena.
That
defeat
marked
the
end
of
Federer’s
involvement
in
the
Laver
Cup,
and
Nadal’s
participation
is
over
for
this
year,
too.
Nadal
has
been
dealing
with
an
abdominal
injury
in
the
second
half
of
this
season,
with
the
issue
notably
seeing
him
miss
a
Wimbledon
semi-final
against
Nick
Kyrgios.
However,
the
Laver
Cup,
announcing
the
Spaniard’s
absence
from
the
weekend’s
play
on
Saturday,
made
no
reference
to
any
ailment,
saying
he
had
pulled
out
“for
personal
reasons”.
Cameron
Norrie
took
Nadal’s
place
in
the
tournament
and
was
set
to
face
Taylor
Fritz.
