Rafael Nadal Says ‘A Part of Me Left’ When Roger Federer Retired

At Federer’s 2022 Laver Cup farewell, Nadal partnered him in doubles, falling 9–11 to Sock/Tiafoe. Reflecting now, he told You Quiz, “In some way, he has been an important part of my life… When he retired, a part of me left with him.” The rivals met in nine Slam finals from 2006–2017, shaping an era before Nadal retired in 2024.
