Photographer Ella Ling speaks about the “raw” photo she took of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal holding hands at the Laver Cup after the final match of Federer’s career
It was a moment in time – as brief as half a second – that captured the intensity of the relationship and rivalry between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. Poised on the side of the court with her camera at the ready, photographer Ella Ling expected Federer’s farewell from tennis to be charged with emotion – though when the moment arrived, the outpouring of tears and adulation caught her by surprise.
“They value family a lot, they value respect. They’re both very, very classy. They always win sportsmanship awards and things like that. I think that’s where they bonded. “But at the same time, I don’t think any of us really understood quite how close they were. I didn’t realize until this moment and throughout that whole evening you can just see how close they were.
