McEnroe's take on Roger Federer

McEnroe was in awe for the 20-time Grand Slam Champion and he stated :-

“Roger Federer to me is the most beautiful player I have ever seen play on a tennis court. To be able to look on the other side and see my greatest rival and great friend, Bjorn Borg, and have my brother as my right-hand man, it's pretty hard to top that for me personally.”

Team World's Trophy drought ended

Team World finally clinched the trophy after years of setbacks. Despite losing in 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2021, they emerged victorious at London’s O2 Arena two years ago. This was a momentous occasion, with tennis legends Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Andy Murray all representing Team Europe for Federer’s retirement tournament.
