LONDON—Roger Federer’s tearful farewell to his playing career is over. True to his word, the 20-time Grand Slam champion did not say goodbye for good to tennis.
A day after heading into retirement with a Laver Cup doubles match alongside longtime rival Rafaal Nadal—the pair sat crying, side by side, when it ended—Federer was back on the sideline Saturday, offering coaching tips during a victory by his Team Europe fill-in for singles, Matteo Berrettini, and chatting with Novak Djokovic during his first match in months.
