Carlos Alcaraz has opened up on his first meeting with Roger Federer as he prepares to reunite with the Swiss star at the Laver Cup. The two multi-Grand Slam champions haven’t met since a 16-year-old Alcaraz practised with Federer at Wimbledon in 2019 while he was still in the junior circuit.

Since its creation operated by King Roger, the Laver Cup has enjoyed a huge prestige and was officially inserted in the ATP calendar. The 20-time Grand Slam champion played the last match of his legendary career at the Laver Cup in 2022, sharing the court with his eternal rival Nadal at the O2 Arena in London.

Carlos Alcaraz and Roger Federer have both had their say after Rafael Nadal pulled out of the Laver Cup. The 38-year-old repeatedly committed to the team tournament but withdrew last week. Nadal confirmed he had “zero” physical issues but thought another player would be better placed to help Team Europe win.
