Jack Sock and Frances Tiafoe defeated Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer in the Swiss legend's final career match and he explained how it felt.
The match was entertaining and went to three sets, but the crowd was devastated by the result. Sock stated that he and Tiafoe will always be glad for being a part of the match, even if Tiafoe received hate on social media for his participation in it: “It was super fun to just be a part of that match. I think we are going to be forever grateful to be a part of the GOAT’s final match.”
“While playing, it felt like a match,” Sock further explained adding that they simply tried their best:
“Settled in while we were all bawling our eyes out there afterwards, but during the match, felt like a competitive match. I’ve got, you know, the opportunity to play him a few times in Laver Cup, and that team before, so brought back some memories of that, which was exciting."
Sock has been one of the better players for Team World taking part in all of their doubles matches as the team's designated specialist.
“Tiafoe and I played him together for the first time, trying to bring crazy energy. Obviously had 99.9% of the crowd against us. But it was super fun to just be a part of that match. I think we are going to be forever grateful to be a part of the GOAT’s final match."
"But I
don’t think it settled in until after. When I hit that last shot and
realized it was over, it was, like, kind of went numb.” concluded Sock.
