Thanks to Alcaraz and Nadal, Spain has gone 1-2 atop the men’s rankings this week. But it’s not the first time Nadal has achieved a career feat in tandem with a fellow Spaniard.

The Spaniards are the first countrymen to top the ATP rankings in 22 years.

Meanwhile, Taylor Fritz is now one spot away from the Top 10, and Rajeev Ram becomes No. 1 in doubles.

The world No. 2 never dreamed of being side by side with Roger when he bid adieu. "I enjoyed the moment, realizing that this will be probably some of the best days of my life."

Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Andy Murray all affirmed plans to continue their respective careers in the wake of Federer’s emotional exit during Laver Cup last week.

The image of Federer's greatest rival in tears throughout his Laver Cup retirement ceremony resonated far beyond the tennis world.

The 20-time Grand Slam winner brought a new beauty to the court, and new emotional honesty off it. He remade the game, but there will never be anyone like him.

The two ATP legends had a match point but ultimately fell to American duo Jack Sock and Frances Tiafoe in a match tie-break in doubles, 4-6, 7-6 (2), 11-9.

The Swiss’ final practice session was a standing room only affair, and featured an appearance from self-proclaimed Federer "groupie” Anna Wintour.

The Roland Garros and US Open runner-up opened play with a win for Team Europe, defeating Jack Sock with a little mentoring from Rafael Nadal.
