Laver Cup highlights: Alex De Minaur beats Andy Murray in gruelling three-set match at the O2 Arena

Roger Federer brought the curtain down on his illustrious career in an emotion-packed Friday night session at London's O2 Arena, finishing his final match ...

Three times he and Nadal were two points from victory – at 5-4 and 6-5 in the second set and 8-8 in the match tiebreak – and they moved to within a point of victory at 9-8. “It does feel like a celebration,” he told the crowd, “it’s what I wanted it to be, so thank you. The match itself was the perfect way for Federer to go out. In the third game he moved for a forehand down the line and threaded it through the tiny gap between the net post and the net. It ended two-and-a-quarter hours later with Sock wrong-footing Nadal with a forehand up the alley, but from then on the American pair took a back seat as the show belonged to Federer. But Friday’s story was all about Federer and the final chapter of a career that signs him off him as one of the greatest athletes in the history of sport, not just tennis.

Alex de Minaur gave Team World their first point at Laver Cup London by outlasting Andy Murray in a night session like few others in the event's history.

A fine de Minaur first serve helped to seal a meaningful victory for Team World — which has lost all four previous Laver Cups. “Probably the kind of nerves and just the sense of having my back against the wall, it wasn’t easy by any means,” said de Minaur. As if anyone needed reminding, de Minaur spoke of his fondness for team competitions on Thursday. A break for 2-1 confirmed his early superiority. Stefan Edberg was in the crowd, all of the teams as well, having them supporting you, talking during matches as well, it was incredible. “We had a couple of unfortunate matches,” said de Minaur.
