Federer retired from tennis upon the conclusion of the 2022 Laver Cup, in an emotional doubles defeat alongside the Spaniard.

It was just a few more years before Nadal retired from Tennis as the 38-year-old called it a day at the end of the 2024 Davis Cup Finals in Malaga.

With two of the best to ever do it hanging up the racket, questions were asked as to what would happen to the sport, questions that one former ATP star thinks have now been answered.

Speaking on the Nothing Major podcast, former world number 11 Sam Querrey admitted that he has been surprised by tennis’ surge in popularity following the retirements of Nadal and Federer.

“I thought it was going to dip but it hasn’t,” he said.
