I gotta hand it to their teams Fedal is the greatest PR success in sports in a long time not just in tennis like sure ~deep friendship~ when Federer couldn’t stand Rafa until someone else started beating them lmao

What has Federer done for Saudi? He deliberately skipped the tournament Nadal and Djokovic were due to play there, I don't know of him playing there or saying her would?
Also while they are great PR, it basically came about because they were both under IMG who realised back in the mid 00s they could make a lot of money marketing them as friends. I know you lie about a lot of stuff, but pretending their marketing them as 'friends' didn't happen when both of them were basically unrivalled is a joke.

Wow, you're admitting to being obsessed with me, call the popo!
Lol he's already in talks to stage Laver Cup in Saudi. Godsick who co-founded it spoke about it himself. And during AO, besties were seen in Saudi promoting ~rich tennis culture~ there perfect timing. But I like how you're not at all mentioning how Rafa's on the Saudi's payroll.
Rich calling me a liar when you literally invent stuff to hate on active players and live in the past to obsess over these two grandpas.
Oh please, Roger couldn't stand Rafa. He was salty af when he lost to him bc he was unused to it. If it was marketed as friends it was to improve Roger's image then it was amped up bc Djokovic was beating them. Also mid 2000s, Novak was already on the scene and beating them, kind reminder his first slam was 2008. It's just a PR friendship, literally a google search will tell you bestie Roger didn't even go to Rafa's wedding. They only appear together for PR purposes but since it gives you so much joy to live in the past keep believing in this.

I think Godsick said they would look at tenders for Saudi, but they have not yet taken one (and LBR they've probably put one in with a lot of money), so I'm not sure how that means he's a friend of Saudi. Shelton (also under Team8) literally didn't play NextGen in Saudi even though he qualified, so I don't think Trident8 (the offshoot of Team8 that owns the Laver Cup) is a Saudi friendly organisation at the moment.
I never said they were friends, I think it's very clear it's PR, but your bullshit was to make it about anything but IMG saying 'hey, you know what could be a great selling point?' I know you're desperate to put Novak in there, but no one gave a fuck about him then so thinking IMG made them PR friends because they were scared of the guy who pulled out of the USO because he had a sore throat and had a total of 1 slam in the 00s is an absolute choice.

Australian!! open isnt held in Saudi Arabia hope this helps
The only person mentioning Novak here is you. So clearly someone does give a fuck about him.

And you said the PR kicked in when they started being beaten by someone else and that is bullshit.
Their BFF PR started when Roger went to visit Rafa in his hotel in Basel back in 2005 when Nadal played there and I think (conveniently) he was being interviewed at the time so it was reported.
At the end of 2005 Federer had won 5 slams in 2 years. No one was threatening him.
