Nick Kyrgios recently reminisced about partying with Roger Federer after a Laver Cup tournament. Both players attended the event four times in their careers.
Federer and Kyrgios notably represented Team Europe and Team World, respectively, during the 2017 (Prague), 2018 (Chicago), and 2019 (Geneva) editions. They faced each other thrice in the competition — once in each edition —, with Federer winning on all three occasions.
Kyrgios recently hosted a Q&A session on his Instagram stories, where a fan asked him to name something he has done with Federer that others don’t know about. The Aussie responded by recalling an instance where he saw the Swiss ‘putting away’ champagne when they were at a party together.
“Can you talk about something u’ve [sic.] done with the goat rf [Roger Federer] that no one knows,” the fan’s question read.
“We went out after laver cup one year…. Team world was partying obviously…. We turned around and team Europe walked in…. Roger can put away champagne [champagne glasses emoji]… I was like damn hahahaha,” Kyrgios responded.
Between 2015 and 2019, Kyrgios and Federer met eight times, with the Aussie winning just once. That lone win came in their first-ever encounter — in the Round of 32 at the 2015 Madrid Masters.
