Roger Federer explains 'beautiful' Rafael Nadal moment after pair were seen holding hands

It was therefore particularly poignant that his last ever event came alongside his good friend. However, it was not enough to stop the pair from being beaten in a champions tiebreak by Team World pair Jack Sock and Frances Tiafoe. Both Federer and Nadal were in floods of tears after the match with a picture of them both crying and holding hands becoming one of the most enduring in tennis history.
