Rafael Nadal Ridiculed In Instagram Livestream With Roger Federer And Andy Murray

The coronavirus has caused everyone to remain quarantined until the global pandemic passes. With the whole world indoors, ATP superstars Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Andy Murray caught up with each other via Instagram for the world to see.

Despite the friendly encounter, Nadal experienced technical difficulties before the world’s top stars got to discuss with one another. The Instagram session started with Nadal going live on his feed as he interacted first with his fans. The original plan was he would then proceed to bring Murray, Federer and Marc Lopez to the call to discuss their plans amidst the COVID-19 threat.

It wasn’t as seamless as expected as Nadal had difficulties in adjusting the settings for the live chat. It resulted in an awkward encounter with the 19-time Grand Slam troubleshooting in front of the world to see.

This resulted in a barrage of comments on Nadal’s inability to manage an online call, including Murray not holding back. It’s well known that Nadal has been one of the most dominant players in the world and Murray took the chance to get the upper hand over the Spaniard.

“This is brilliant… He can win 52 French Opens, but not work Instagram,” Murray commented.

He later added more on Nadal’s feed to the delight of everyone tuning in.

There were no excuses for Nadal as even Federer had to chip into the situation. When the call finally pushed through, Federer was exasperated.

“Are we in? Did we make it? My God, I didn’t know if it was you or me,” Federer said. The two caught up with each other with Swiss legend sharing an update from his recovery.

“I had a really good first six weeks, then things got a bit slower, now it’s good again. But I have plenty of time obviously. There’s no rush,” Federer said.

“I’ve been hitting a bit against the wall, doing my rehab and my fitness. The good thing is that the second surgery is easier than the first one. I don’t need to experience a third one, though,” he added.

The future of the tennis tour is still uncertain but the world’s top stars understand that everyone’s safety is the main priority.
