Carlos Alcaraz has opened up on his first meeting with Roger Federer as he prepares to reunite with the Swiss star at the Laver Cup. The two multi-Grand Slam champions haven’t met since a 16-year-old Alcaraz practised with Federer at Wimbledon in 2019 while he was still in the junior circuit.

Roger Federer is in Berlin to watch the 2024 Laver Cup, scheduled for this weekend. However, he is also planning to "apologize" to Carlos Alcaraz for snubbing him a while ago.

Alcaraz has since come across like a man keen to show Federer why he was wrong to snub him. Despite a gruelling season that has seen retain his title at SW19 and win a maiden French Open crown, he’s previously vowed to give his all to the team competition.
