LiontipsRoger Federer/Rafael Nadal vs Jack Sock/Frances Tiafoe. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Laver Cup 2022 (September 23, 2022).
Command Analysis
On September 15, Roger Federer announced that he is finishing his professional career. The match against Sock and Tiafoe on Friday is going to be the final match for the Swiss legend. This is undoubtedly a historical moment, and even more special since Federer will be playing alongside his long-time rival and friend, Rafael Nadal. Nadal and Federer have a long history of playing together. For example, at the 2017 Laver Cup, they beat Sam Querrey and Jack Sock in three sets (6-4, 1-6, 10-5).
Jack Sock and Frances Tiafoe, on the other hand, have not played together before. Nevertheless, this should not be a problem for the American duo. Tiafoe is having a great season. At the recent US Open, he confidently reached the semifinals. Sock is also in good form - he won the Savannah Challenger, was the runner-up in Ilkley, and made an impressive run at Wimbledon - as a qualifier, he reached the 3rd round of the Major.
