I don’t know!” The audience then cracked up laughing when Federer suggested that he would choose Leonardo Di Caprio for himself.<\/p>\n “And then Novak and Rafa… this is tough,” he continued. “Maybe Matthew McConaughey for Novak, and for Rafa… Antonio Banderas!

More info<\/p>\n When it was put to Federer that Tiafoe was just as tough an interviewer as he was an opponent on court, the Swiss responded: “Yeah, he’s annoying.”<\/p>\n The pair came face-to-face as part of Federer’s last professional match, with the veteran partnering Nadal and Tiafoe lining up alongside Jack Sock in a Laver Cup doubles contest. Team World came out on top to end Federer’s career on a defeat, but Tiafoe insists that the result of the match was not important.<\/p>\n “Me and Jack were joking, should we go hard, should we not, should we make it a good show? I\u2019m glad we went out there and played hard,” he told The New York Times. “The result was so irrelevant. Tennis won that night.”<\/p>\n After the match, Tiafoe told Federer: “Thank you for the last 20-plus years. Thank you not only for your on-court play, but for who you are as an individual. What you\u2019ve done will never die.”<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/72\/590x\/secondary\/4975305.jpg?r=1695542854778\")
