Federer and Nadal team up
The video that Federer was referring to contained some quirky moments that were witnessed before Zverev’s super tiebreak against his opponent Milos Raonic in the Laver Cup 2019 final held in Geneva, Switzerland. Basically, Zverev had won the first set 6-3. Subsequently, Raonic staged a comeback by winning the next set 6-3. This forced the super tiebreak, where the first player to reach 10 points wins the match. At this juncture, Federer and his good friend Rafael Nadal ran after the upcoming star player Zverev and accompanied him to the bathroom. The former was even heard using expletives, speaking to the player. Nadal also barked a lot of instructions at Zverev telling him to avoid negative thinking.
