The former World No. 1 had previously declared his intention to pay a visit to Mallorca with his family.
Following his retirement at the 2022 Laver Cup, he was asked whether he had any plans to vacation in Manacor, Mallorca, Rafael Nadal's hometown. The 20-time Grand Slam champion confirmed his vacation plans and even revealed his intention to send his children to the Spaniard's tennis academy.
"I plan to go on vacation there and send my children to the academy. Besides, we already talked about it with Mirka," he told L'Equipe (Translated from French).
"If Rafael Nadal called Roger Federer for something tomorrow, he would do it right away" - Ivan Ljubicic
Depsite boasting of one of the most storied rivalries in the history of sport, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal have also developed a strong and enduring bond off the court.
The Swiss' former coach Ivan Ljubicic recently shed a light on their friendship, revealing that their relationship was initially limited to mutual respect. He disclosed that their friendship blossomed after the pair bonded over the "many special moments" they shared together.
"At first, they only had respect for each other. Over time, they realized that they had shared many special moments. If Rafa called Roger tomorrow for something, he would do it right away. And vice versa," Ljubicic told Tages Anzeiger.
Over the course of their careers, Nadal and Federer faced each other 40 times on the tour, with Nadal leading their head-to-head record 24-16. The Spaniard also enjoys a 14-10 record over the Swiss legend in finals.
