Swiss tennis legend\u00a0Roger Federer<\/strong>\u00a0has enjoyed his share of the spotlight at this year\u2019s Laver Cup. The 20-time Grand Slam champion was seen interacting with current and former players in Berlin this weekend.<\/p>\n Before the conclusion of this year\u2019s Laver Cup, Federer had a special gift for the outgoing captains,\u00a0Bjorn Borg<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0John McEnroe<\/strong>. The 43-year-old presented the Swedish and American legends with iconic, customized Rolex watches.<\/p>\n Federer has been a brand ambassador for Rolex for a long time, and his partnership with the sponsor has continued after his retirement. The Swiss Maestro was also seen promoting\u00a0Wilson<\/a>\u00a0as he\u00a0tested his new RF 01 rackets<\/a>\u00a0at this year\u2019s Laver Cup.<\/p>\n Roger Federer gifted John McEnroe and Bjorn Borg with custom Rolexes for their last year as Laver Cup captains.<\/p>\n Borg and McEnroe will be stepping down as captains of Team Europe and Team World after seven years. They will be replaced by\u00a0Yannick Noah<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Andre Agassi<\/strong>, respectively.<\/p>\n Roger Federer<\/strong>\u2019s agent has shared that the retired tennis legend has one condition before returning to the court for an exhibition match. The 20-time Grand Slam winner retired two years ago during the Laver Cup. Federer,\u00a0along with his agent Tony Godsick, created the team event and is now attending this year\u2019s Laver Cup in Berlin as a spectator.<\/p>\n Godsick spoke about the possibility of Federer playing an exhibition match, especially one against\u00a0Rafael Nadal<\/strong>. However, the 43-year-old Swiss star will only return once he feels fully prepared. His right knee, which\u00a0has been a persistent issue, still isn\u2019t strong enough to play.<\/p>\n Federer\u2019s knee problems began in 2021 when he played just five tournaments before exiting Wimbledon and undergoing a third surgery. Before the 2022 Laver Cup, he announced his retirement, ending his career due to this ongoing injury.<\/p>\n Federer has a history of playing in big exhibition events. Before his surgery in 2020, he and Nadal played in South Africa, breaking a record with 51,954 fans. He also played\u00a0Alexander Zverev<\/strong>\u00a0in Mexico in front of 42,517 people. Godsick believes Federer will look for another large venue if he returns to the court.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n![\"Less](\"https:\/\/firstsportz.com\/wp-content\/cache\/flying-press\/o5NaU1NQ878-hqdefault.jpg\")
