Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer to lead parade of champions in Prague on Wednesday
More than a billion fans around the world are expected to tune in to watch the Laver Cup, the newest event in world tennis, to see if Europe’s old guard, which includes two of the greatest players of all time, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, can stave off a challenge from the sports’ rising stars.
Nadal triumphed in New York for the third time on Sunday afternoon, lifting the trophy once again following a 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 rout of Kevin Anderson. The world No. 1 did not face a single break point while coasting to victory in two hours and 27 minutes. Nadal used unusually strong and well-placed returns to break Anderson four times and he almost kept up with the 6'8'' South African in the winners department (32 to 30 in Anderson's favor). The Spaniard also committed a mere 11 unforced errors, whereas 40 mistakes came off the underdog's racket.
Rafael Nadal and Kevin Anderson will be facing each other for the fifth time in their careers when they collide in the U.S. Open final on Sunday afternoon.

With all of Andy Murray's injury issues and all of the points he has to defend from 2016--starting at the French Open and Wimbledon--his fall from the No. 1 ranking in the world had been inevitable for some time now. The question was not "if," but "when."
