Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are used to playing against each other, but the two tennis superpowers teamed up as doubles partners for the first time during the Laver Cup in Prague.

The bromance that developed between the two lads on the Europe side was a spectacular sight to see.

Federer was so excited

The lads beat US players Sam Querrey and Jack Sock 6-4 1-6 (10-5) to give Team Europe a 9.3 lead. I can’t imagine going up against these two was easy.
