“I’m going to miss it because I had a wonderful time in Geneva, Prague and Chicago, but have already been in touch with Thomas Enqvist, the coach of Team Europe and I will also definitely call Bjorn [Borg] and John [McEnroe] and make sure everything is okay.
“Obviously I’ll be in touch with the team and I‘ll be watching a lot of the matches.
“It’s going to be long tennis days in front of the TV, so I’m really excited that it’s Laver Cup time again.”
Rafael Nadal
August also saw Nadal bring the curtain down on his 2021 season because of an injury setback.
The King of Clay suffered a foot injury at the French Open – his favourite event – which forced him to miss Wimbledon and the Tokyo Olympics.
He later managed to get through two games at the ATP 500 in Washington, but ultimately decided it was better to properly rest his foot and give it time to heal.
