Eurosport cutting for a break at every change over is infuriating. Their interactions on the bench is more fun than the tennis!

Court is grim as feck, crowd is dead, main camera angle is shaky as hell and the tennis is being played in slow motion. Also it's doubles. Who the feck actually watches doubles?
Buy Discovery Plus, init? fecking hate American capitalism
Todd Woodbridge just said Federer still has the ability to "tunnel you up". Man's a dirtbag.
This is fun. Shit, but fun.
Rafa is crying like one of us 
Tbf, I'd give Federer a chance of making the second week of his club championships this summer.
You kinda wish these guys don't go away.
Also, what was with Tiafoe going for head in the latter stages there? Especially when Nadal chose not to in a circumstance that would have given them a big advantage.
I know it's fair, but it's an exhibition you know.

Sad night for Europeans. We gifted the point to the Americans just because grandpa here wanted a farewell.
I'm crying one more time with you Rogi. You absolute legend. I only post this on an ManUnited Forum, but you really were an Icon in my life. The greatest Swiss Sportsman ever. Love you forever. Thank you Roger.
The guy you're insulting is the reason this event exists, so pipe down
He's really going to start crying when he realises he's caught MegaCovid from Novak.
Absolute legend.
Rafa proper sobbing there. Some history between them though.
Berrettini seems like he’s the fun Bobby of this team. The ultimate hype man. #goodvibesonly
Isn’t the point of this to create a Ryder Cup of tennis? You’d get slaughtered for calling that an exhibition.
It's heart breaking watching Federer weep.
Roger still the competitor still crying half an hour after losing a dubs match.
I can't watch them both crying
I’ll forgive him if we retain the trophy.
What would you call playing against a guy who's 41 and hasn't playing a match in 3+ years?
It can still be competitive and aim for the body, sure, but was it really necessary for Tiafoe to drill it at Rafa's skull?
Not once, not even twice, but several times.
But I guess this isn't the moment for that.
At the very least, we got to see a legend grace the game one more time.
Tonight is literally the first time I watched a match of this whole thing - I consider it a waste of time anyway.
The future is looking similarly boring with Team Europe set to dominate the rankings
Seeing Rafa and Roger sobbing to the backdrop of an Ellie fecking Goulding concert is quite a surreal sight.
I’m not crying, you’re crying
All of us…
Oh boy, how lucky are we to have witnessed this legend.
There won't be anyone like him ever.
Seeing him and Rafa crying on that bench was heartbreaking, thank you for everything Roger!

keep calm. Nole and the Italian fella will win the thing for us Europeans
Absolute class.
You're the one that's crying!
Watched their practice session on Thursday, it was surreal!
Rafa and Roger are both incredible athletes, great human beings as well.

Great to see all the legends together.
feckin love this, 2 two absolute legends. Roger, you’ll be missed. What a class act. This is what rivalry is all about: push each other to beyond your limit whilst retaining the upmost respect & dignity.
Good luck, Roger
You will be my favorite player forever.
What a legend!!!
You will be my favorite player forever.
What a legend!!!
Norrie taking a hard spank from Fritz so far.
I had to bump this because it is for every word what I would say about this moment.
Federer was the reason I became obsessed with Tennis, and Nadal/Djokovic joining the Greatest of tennis players during the period just reinforced that joy. These are absolute greats of the individual sports, and when all 3 do retire I dont think I will have the same passion for tennis ever again. They really are a unique group of players that will be difficult to replicate in any sports.
There will never be a Tennis player in my lifetime I doubt (I’m 33) that looked so good playing the game like Federer did.
he played the game perfectly and glided over the court like no other ever, especially on grass of course. So much so people would regard it as pure poetry in motion, or a tennis version of Ballet.
This is why many have him down as their favourite ever, no one has ever played like him, the best version of Tennis I’ve ever seen.

Will go down as the greatest ever for a lot, regardless of the numbers. It will always be a subjective point, but thevst majority of tennis fans seem to consider him the most pleasing tennis player to watch and he's the reason many people got into tennis. Winning the most popular ATP player 13 years in a row is staggering and sheds light on his importance in tennis.
Will never forgive him now.
His defeat only cost one point though. Novax and Tsitsipas blew it, to be honest.
Two point swing. Would've still been alive before the final match.
