After all these years of rivalry, seeing Rafa jump into Roger's arms made me emotional no lies

This is why I love the Laver Cup. Tennis is the loneliest sport in the world and this is a chance for rivals to play as a team (greater than double). You get to see their compassion for each other, because they all understand deep down what it means to win or lose a game. This is why I love this sport

Kyrgios has a once in life time level of innate talent for the sport. To go mano a mano with Roger like this alone proves he is an amazing entertainer on the court no matter what you think of him 🎉

Kyrgios' tears at end never fails to break my heart. Federer should coach Kyrgios

That point starting at 12:10 is just magnificent. Even Nadal couldn't bear the nerves. This whole match is one of Federer's master pieces. Let's treasure it.

No doubt fed is the best but many of these matches show what an amazing player Kygrios is. Wish he had the mentality of any of the big 3 to elevate himself to a legend, certainly the most talented player to have come on tour in a decade but might just go underutilised because of his personality.

Honestly I didn't expect that come back from Roger .. truly champion

Time flies. It feels like yesterday

Watching team World run up to Nick to comfort him was low key heart warming. ❤❤❤

Nick crying at the end broke my heart

Every match these two had played had been absolutely incredible. Man I'm jealous of these fans. Talk about getting your money's worth

2017 Federer will always be my favorite

Look at the flair. Roger is a beauty personified

Seeing him this pumped was a privilege to watch, losing to nick the first time and after that saying to himself “not again”, such a g up

I think Federer himself couldn't believe he managed to beat Kyrgios in these tough matches. This guys was determined to slay the giants and had the goods to back it up, but just couldn't handle Federer. Damn the ATP Tour was so much fun back then

12 Jan 2022, I came back to this channel, watching this match. Still v.much enjoy & excited just as I was 4yrs ago. What a match! What a tournament! Perfect in every area. Once again, Congratulation to the "Laver Cup". More pls.

one of the best matches to ever be played in my opinion

That low pickup volley with sidespin on it at 12:25 is just one remarkable shot

0:09 Roger was like, "even if he takes whole day he can't describe me let's make him do it fast "

Un torneo excepcional, ideado por una mente privilegiada: Gracias Sr. Federer

The last roar from Federer in the last point means a lot. It's like you want to be calm but still want to scary your opponent. Seeing Kyrgios in tears and Federer that basically don't give a damn is so good to see. It's like when the bullying boy gets smashed and nobody cares :D

No habia visto este partidazo y me alegra ver a su amigo Nada sufriendo y gozando el triunfo !!

it always hurts when you know a double fault is coming...

Kyrgios gave everything to this match.

10:35 “waves his Wilson wand.”

Amazing highlights !

This is one of the top 10 matches Federer's played in the last 10 years. Kyrgios is also at the top of his game.

at 12:54 would've been a ridiculous winner if Roger had made it

What a close match. Very interesting to watch

Классный турнир и классный матч . В который раз смотрю и всегда ощущается атмосфера игры.Оба молодцы!Браво!

Một mái ấm thật hạnh phúc Chúc thầy ngày càng thành công Luôn theo dõi và ủng hộ thầy lộc ❤️❤️❤️

roger had a gift and was truly a joy to watch and i especially enjoy anytime nick k. loses

Long live the king ❤️

Federer is the most graceful tennis player u will ever see

This is up there in my best matches to date still. The intensity, the stakes. Damn, amazing.

Epic match

WHAT A MATCH

What a match!

Rafa's cheers in that last super tiebreak were very clear to hear.

What a match ! ! ! fantastic !

Thank you roger!

You dont see this quality of tennis now

Nick Kyrgios is a professional tennis player as well as a notable actor.

legend

Ce point a 6 -5 15-40 dans le 2eme set..'sans doute le plus beau point de l histoire du tennis

Kyrgios always plays like a top 5 when matched up against Federer

I wonder if we will ever see tennis like this again. Departure of Roger has left apparently an non-fillable void. 🥺

The way nadal jumped onto federer Bromance at its best

Rafa Jumping on Federer lol. ❤

I want to say that this Laver Cup was the best idea in ages for tennis. Whoever was the idea he is a god. First of all, we can see a great amount of good quality matches in a very nice format which gives a lot of emotion and tension. Also to watch the best in the tour in doubles is great. Furthermore the players give everything for this cup something suprising for me when I first heard about the cup and being an exhibition tournament. If the players keep coming with motivation and specially all the top guys come, this will definitely beat Davis Cup atmosphere and competition. I also loved how different rivalries come into one friendship to beat the other continet/s. It is insanely good how well all the players get with each other and I would pay to listen to all the conversations between players during the cup. Finally, the organizers did extremely well in putting all this up. Cameras everywhere, also microphones to listen to some advices of the players and coaches, the interviews mid matches. Shootout to World team for giving this cup the funny part and they definitely enjoyed the time there. The emotions and feelings were so high. Just watch Kyrgios at the end of the match and how much this means. Tennis is about dignity and beating the opponent and dont about money and ATP points. Please keep this cup for a lot of years to come. Last but not least, thank you Rod Laver for being there forever and the representation of this great tournament.

That scream of Nadal in the background every time Federer wins an important point in the last two breakers is just epic.

How often do you see Kyrgios cry after a loss? Hes back and has the passion to play again. Nr 1 potential

What a match, what a Laver Cup! Another excellent installment in the Kyrgios vs. Federer rivalry. And what emotion and competition for this match! It felt like a grand slam, but with a team element. I definitely hugely enjoyed this Laver Cup, and hope for many more. Maybe more than anything, seeing Roger and Rafa's relationship beyond just a friendly but intense rivalry, to be such great friends and to support each other so significantly...it's just beautiful.

Very rare to see Roger shout so much... even Wen he plays for himself in grand slams

That was a crazy match, one time again, Federer shows us how much he is a genius. Wonderful.

Come onnnnnn. Team Europe got it done. Very close today. Very fitting that Roger Federer wins the first ever Laver cup. Could not be more happier. It was sooooo amazing to see Rafa and Roger and the others supporting each other and pumping up their team mates. I really enjoyed this tournament. It is already a huge success.

I have never seen so much emotion in tennis. Never ! When Roger is hyping himself on court going 'Come on!!!' and RAfA is going mental supporting his every stroke on the sidelines .... what more can you say? ....

It's really impressive to see Federer playing like this at 36 years old

how is he still so great at 36?? I'm starting to think that he's not only the greatest tennis player ever, but perhaps the greatest athlete in the history of sport.

This was one of the most intense matches of the year. So much for this thing being an exo. Rafa's leap on Roger embodies the passion, artistry, and tension that this tournament had. This tournament has the makings of being a regular event no doubt. High quality stuff.

I don’t care what people say: this Laver Cup was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. To the naysayers who spent all their time whining about lack of competition because team Europe was so much stronger than Team World I say that you were completely off the mark. This tournament was more competitive than the last Roland Garros, Wimbledon and US Open put together where Rafa and Roger just breezed through the field and we had lots of dull matches. This tournament had 12 matches: only two of those (Federer and Zverev’s easy wins over Querrey) could be called non-competitive. All of the others were massively competitive and entertaining, even the kids Tiafoe and Shapovalov made Cilic and Zverev work hard. And so much for Team Europe’s big advantage: the tie came down to the very last match and Federer even had to save a match-point. I already see some comments here that they made it competitive on purpose on the last day: of course, do you actually believe that Nadal would be so unprofessional as to throw away a match just to allow Federer to play the last one? That’s totally disrespectful to Nadal, first of all, and to Isner who played one of the matches of his life. Damn, he was unplayable today. He fired 23 aces and 11 forehand winners in two sets, how do you break a guy who fires 23 aces in two sets? Yes, Rafa was a little off (probably tired it was his fourth match in three days) but he didn’t play a really bad match, Isner was just too good. And it is not a big surprise that Nadal lost, he is not exactly a fan of low-bouncing-indoor-hardcourts. As for Federer and Kyrgios… it was perfect, the best possible ending to a great week of tennis. Nick is great, I don’t care if he is an ahole sometimes, the guy is pure gold when he is motivated. He really puts on a show for you. Has ever been a rivalry with just three matches as good as Federer and Kyrgios? It reminds me of the famous Ali-Frazier rivalry in boxing (with Fed being Ali, of course ahah). Another nail-bitting affair, with Federer coming from a set down and from 5-8 down in the super-tiebreak, having to save a match point in the process at 8-9. Just brilliant. And do you still think this was just an exhibition? Did you see Rafa going ape on the sideline trying to get Roger over the finish line? Mirka and Nick’s dad shouting in the stands on the last points? The wide smile of Ice-Borg when Fed finally did it? Kyrgios crying at the end? And all of this while 20 thousand people were on the edge of their seats? Sorry, folks, it doesn’t matter that this tournament does not give you ranking points. It matters if the players care, and boy, did they care. Tennis sometimes lacks in comparison with others sports like soccer or basketball, it lacks the team spirit. The brotherhood among both teams was amazing to watch. So get lost, naysayers. Tennis fans want more of this, they deserve more of this. LAVER CUP 4 EVER!

My favorite match-up of the year. This one and their match in Miami are the bests of the season imo. It is so clear that Kyrgios gets extra motivational while against Federer.

The amount of heart Kyrgios showed in this match. If he always put his all in like this he would be loved.

lol, no one wanted Berdych in that circle at 17:37.

Incredible from ROGERRRRR and then at the end Rafa jumping on him ❤️❤️

Kinda have to feel bad for Kygrios, on 4 separate occasions he has been 2 points away from beating rog, and this one was definately one he really wanted but just can't get it done - also I am shocked that team word was so damn close to winning, if this 50/50 match went to Nick there would have been a final tiebreak match that could've gone either way, but in saying that I'm happy it ended like this and it was a great first installment of the laver cup! Hopefully, there are much more like this :D

8:08 maybe the loudest Come On i ever heard from Roger!

So fitting that the first ever edition ends with the King winning it at such dramatic and thrilling match. Love you Roger Federer

I've never seen kyrgios so focused and so respectful.Can't wait to see a rematch between these two

Is no one going to mention how Rafa is blowing his lips at 12:27? It's fucking hilarious.

What a phenomenal, nerve wrecking performance from these two, they weren't nearly close to this level of spirit and roaring attitude in the recently concluded US Open. Let's reiterate even if you know it. Roger is about 15 years older than Kyrgios and yet matched his speed and stamina to get through this.

i didn't expect much from this tournament but dmn what a match

Rafa at 17.30: This is my chance to make Federer's back injury return :)

Next year. Team Europe - Fed, Nadal, Nole, Murray, Wawrinka and Zverev/Dimitrov Team World - Del Potro, Kyrgios, Nishikori, Shapovalov, Raonic and Sock

Rafa leaping into rogers arms is what 2017 is all about!! Im so happy!!

Very unique and so emotional to see Nadal supporting Federer. I do love this game.

Roger cleaning up Rafas mess 😂. I'm kidding they are both G.O.A.T.'s.

What an absolutely epic match ! Thank you to both players for these emotions, Federer seemed more happy than when he has won Wimbledon ^^

I love how you can here Rafa shouting "YA" after a few of the points in the match tiebreak.

It's like Rafa bet his mortgage on the game. Geez. The guy was on the verge of implosion.

What a match unbelievable, one of the best this year

Roger Federer cementing his legacy yet again as the Greatest Of All Time , it it so fitting that he was the player that lead team Europe to the Laver Cup. He is the definition of a true champion and he is tennis ❤ #beli20ve

Rafa's jump at the end ! Lovely !

This is one of the best matches I've ever seen, in all my years watching, this is quality stuff from both ends.

This event was a monumental success. Some of the best and most exciting tennis I have seen all year. Roger is the super GOAT for creating this, and it means that even after he retires, as long as this cup is still running, he will always have a direct presence in the game. Legendary event created by a legend to honor a legend is the best way I can describe this.

17:35 Berdych "I have no idea what to do now" :v

the most heated match of the tournament in my opinion, i was screaming on the top of my lungs.. Roger you're just the GOAT. congrats to Team Europe , y'all did fkn Super well!!!!

kyrios finally showed he cares today. gained a lot of respect.

Laver cup super , three day's packed with best tennis ever

Great drama! I love the tournament format and overall concept. Anyway anytime Roger and Nick square off it's a treat to watch.

Bjorn known to be a composed silent man jumping around was one surprise Nadal jumping on Roger was the best of the evening. The whole tournament was hands down crazy exciting. Nadal was egging the crowd during the match when RF was fighting on court amazing scenes man. It was past midnight for me in India and I was fist pumping and jumping in my room 😂😆

This was a great idea and an unbelievable contest.With the scoring system it made the last day a real spectacle.Great job to everyone.It had to be the greatest, Roger who won the cup !! He is an amazing athlete and a living legend.

I absolutely love this competition! It brings together the best of rivalries and friendship as shown by the way these fierce competitors who gave their 150% on the court. Fittingly, Roger proved to be the hero when he scored the winning point to clinched it for Europe.

two points : - Nick lacks motivation in the tour , when he plays big opponents he gives his best and he go very focused , he is great to watch btw - Roger is not the same as in Wimbledon : he is not the one to dictate the rally , not agressive enough but consistent

8:28“Federeh looking bettereh”😂😂

Roger showed more emotion in this match than in the entire Wimbledon put together!!!!! Soo much more nerve-wracking than that dull final against an injured Cilic. I am happy that all of these players took the Laver Cup so seriously! A part of me had hoped these would be amiable friendlies, all smiles everywhere, a relaxing tournament near the seaon end. But all of them played like this was a GS! Such emotion and joy! I think this was the brainchild of Roger and Rod Laver, which may explain his high emotions.

Damn! What a match! Each player playing their hearts out!

Kyrgios will mature and he will show everyone, what he's capable of. He is no Fognini by any means. This is a good guy with a good heart although he's not showing it all the time. His time will come, be sure about this folks.

What a special Moment in Rogers carrier!🤩👍

Wonderful wonderful tennis. Absolutely thrilling games. Really great to see the team spirit on both sides. Loved the innovative camera angles. This is such a win for tennis creating enthusiasm and awareness beyond expectations. Hope APT and ITF see this too. Cannot wait for Chicago.
