"The European Guys no banter, don't care about each other and act like they care for one week."

There have been three editions of the Laver Cup. Some players have played them all, such as Roger and Sascha. Just two others, Rafa and Domi. And some only to one, like Stefanos and Fabio, or Thomas, Marin, Grigor and the others.
Let's see how they are not a team!
Let's see how they are not a team!
Domi and Sasha really hate each other
“With Domi, I get along very well. I have wished extremely for him to win the AO2020 after he beat me. But he told me, he got a bit tired because he played four and a half hours with Rafa, four hours 45 minutes with me and then five sets with ND,” Sascha told on Instagram LIVE.
We’re good friends. I’m happy for him, as well, that he’s playing so good here. He made his breakthrough at a Grand Slam. We have no secrets from each other. We played so many times, also on very special occasions.” Domi said.
Here too Sascha shows his hatred for Domi..
...and in fact He wets it!
Sascha won in Madrid last year and the LAST thing he wanted to do was congratulate Domi. But it turned out well, as you can read below
At the Laver Cup, however, Rafa and Roger wrote the introductory speech to Sascha for Domi, to hide the hatred between the two

During an interview Domi was asked if Sascha is his BEST FRIEND. After a moment of reflection (in which Domi thought: "NO, OBVIOUSLY HE IS NOT MY BEST FRIEND. I HATE HIM!"), he replied:" Yes."
But he was not very convincing
But he was not very convincing
This seems like a hug, but trust me: it isn't! The two are simply insulting each other!
"You haven't reached a slam final yet, Sascha. Fly low!"
"And you, however, after you reached them, you always lost them. Do we want to talk about it?"
"You haven't reached a slam final yet, Sascha. Fly low!"
"And you, however, after you reached them, you always lost them. Do we want to talk about it?"
These signs are not a greeting. But a code message: the two are meeting after training for a duel to the death.
Only one left!
Only one left!
In front of the journalists, the two tried to cover up their antagonism. Sascha coldly embraced Domi but the Austrian's unease is evident.
They are good actors
"Sascha, but you stink!"
"That's not true!"
"Yes, you stink!"
"Then you too stink!"
"Yes, but you stink more!"
Ops
"That's not true!"
"Yes, you stink!"
"Then you too stink!"
"Yes, but you stink more!"
Ops
Ok, let's be serious!
Sascha and Domi are great friends! They always support each other, in the Laver Cup and throughout the years.
I guess this was their reaction when they read the Australian's words

"We know each other well. We are best friends on the tour. We play a lot of computer games together but I am the better one!"

The next ones we will talk about are David Goffin and Roger Federer.
They really hate each other
They really hate each other
"Federer has always been my idol since my childhood. Never in my life would I have thought of challenging him.
I have always loved the way he played, in addition to his attitude on and off the pitch."

I played against him for the first time at Roland Garros in 2012, I was really nervous in the locker room, since it was my first appearance in a Slam main draw.
I had absolutely nothing to lose, I won the first set, it was a dream come true and an incredible memory." said Goffin.

"How does it feel to have all your team supporting you and those amazing legends as captains?"

"The European Guys no banter, don't care about each other and act like they care for one week."
Yep.. You're right, Nick
Yep.. You're right, Nick
David, Team loves you!
loves you!
And now, we can talk about them
Grigor, how nice is Roger to you?
“Roger qualities? Many, of course. He is a great tennis player, he plays incredibly, with wonderful shots: he has crazy service, he has everything. There are not enough words to describe it."
Grigor Dimitrov about Roger Federer

And how can we forget the two while making their debut as singers with The One-Handed Backhand Boys, together with Tommy Haas, singing Chicago's "Hard to Say I'm Sorry", a classic of the 80s!
And here comes The One-Handed Backhand Boys that remembers their first (and only!) Concert
And here, Roger tries to keep his adopted sons, Sascha and Grigor, at bay. It is most likely easier for him to be with Leo and Lenny
Again we can say that NK was right: Roger and Grigor suffered a lot, during the week of the Laver Cup 2018, to cheer on each other! Luckily it is only one weekend a year
During the 2019 Laver Cup, Fabio Fognini showed all his esteem for Roger Federer
"Grazie Daddy!!"
Ok.. But Fabio: we respect the roles. You are uncle Fabio
Ok.. But Fabio: we respect the roles. You are uncle Fabio
In this very rare photo, from Madrid 2019, Fabio is trying to bribe Severin: "Come on, take me with you to Geneva!!" Severin seems to agree but Roger doesn't: "I don't like you, Fabio. You break too many rackets!"
Obviously, however, in front of the cameras, Roger will lie and, to the question: "Who is the nicest of the team ?" will reply: "Fognini or Rafa!" just because forced!
?" will reply: "Fognini or Rafa!" just because forced!
Put Fabio together with his idol, Roger Federer. Roger with his best friend, Rafa. The result? Many laughs
"My idol is always Roger Federer. So I would like to play with him. Better not to face the Swiss on the fast. I would rather challenge him to Roland Garros!"
"I played with all the strongest players. But Roger Federer is Roger Federer."
Fabio Fognini about Roger Federer.

Ultimately, I don't think it was a burden for him to be in the Team and cheer on everyone!
and cheer on everyone!
And now, ladies and gentlemen, here is the time to talk about the feud between the two future protagonists of men's tennis in the coming years: Alexander Zverev and Stefanos Tsitsipas.

From Madrid, one of my favorite Saschanos moments is: "He won?": that's hilarious because Sascha was truly, madly, deeply surprised that Stefahnos could win a tennis match.
So: let's start from the Saschanos to the Laver Cup. Near but far
But, however, when they know that the other does not see him, they both squeeze the opponent.

Stefanos, at the Laver Cup, had the burden (and the honor 
) of introducing Sascha. Here is Zeus

Look at them
Is what we are seeing a Saschanos hug?
Sascha, don't be shy and go give Stefanino a hug! I see you
And here the Saschanos celebrating the 2019 Laver Cup
Stefanos is so happy for Sascha's victory
And here another Saschanos moment
And Stefanos celebrates Sascha by throwing confetti on him !!
But the two of them hate each other deeply

Now let's start talking about Fabio Fognini and his important presence in the Team . He only played one game and lost but his presence was fundamental for the team!

Domi and Fabio are so sweet together
"Domi and I are good friends and we are ready to have fun on the field." Fabio Fognini said about their exhibition match in China, just few days after Laver Cup in Geneva,
In fact, they had shared many good memories in Geneva

I definitely love Sascha and Fabio
Sascha and Fabio: the couple you don't expect and who revolutionizes the press conference
Sascha and Fabio: you are hilarious
Fabio, team loves you

And now let's talk about Dominic Thiem. A true gentleman. A friend with a sincere smile. Always available and affable. He is loved by everyone, by the team and its fans.

Rafa and Domi: a golden couple (on clay and not only!)
Rafa for Domi is a point of reference: the opponent to estimate and try to beat
Domi and Rafa have a wonderful friendship

"The European Guys no banter, don't care about each other and act like they care for one week."
Really?
Really?
Now let's open a difficult parenthesis to close. Ladies and gentlemen I show you how Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal don't care about each other and act like they care for one week.
Let's start

2007
The two do not esteem each other. And in fact, during the award ceremonies, the two do not talk to each other and stay at a distance to avoid slapping each other.
They never agree to do exhibition matches because the two hate each other. In 2007, they were forced to perform in Mallorca on a half-grass and half-clay court. The two went out of their way to make the game end quickly!

Few people know what the talk Roger really wanted to do. Here he is: "I am forced to present that saccente who believes to beat all my records. The boy is a bit unpleasant but at least he knows how to play tennis well enough! Ladies and gentlemen, Rrrrrafa Nadal!"

That will not work
After 10 years.. They are always good actors!
This is proof that Roger can't stand Rafa: he colors the field orange to make Rafa believe he is on earth! Without words!
"Go!"
I love them
Obviously Rafa didn't want to hug Roger .. But he was forced by circumstances
2020 AskRafa
"FINALLYYYY!"
I love the fact that when they are together they always laugh!
We can conclude that Roger and Rafa are not friends. They barely know each other. They can hardly bear each other. And if they are together it is because they are forced to do so, as during the Laver cup, the only week in which they cheer for each other.

NK is right.
And now, we can talk about them: Roger Federer and Sascha Zverev
