WATCH: Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal win their debut doubles match

The inaugural Laver Cup has come and gone, with Team Europe prevailing 15-9. The home side won eight of the 12 matches, but given the event's staggered point allotment (Friday's matches were worth one point, Saturday's two and Sunday's three), Team World had a chance all the way until the bitter end, when Roger Federer defeated Nick Kyrgios, saving a match point in the process.

That dramatic match, reminiscent of the veteran Swiss' victory over the young Aussie in Miami earlier this year, only came to pass because of Rafael Nadal's inability to clinch the Laver Cup in the preceding match. Facing John Isner, it was Nadal's fourth match of the event, having already won in doubles on Friday, as well as in singles and doubles on Saturday.

Like the value of Nadal's victories, his matches weren't created equal. That's because, for the first time in competition, the Spaniard teamed with Federer in doubles. It was something everyone wanted to see at some point in this Laver Cup, and for their multitudes of fans, it was worth the wait:

Jack Sock and Sam Querrey will forever be the answer to the trivia question, Who were Fedal's first doubles opponents? They also gave Federer and Nadal plenty of trouble, winning the second set, 6-1, after dropping the first set, 6-4. But it was the crowd favorites who took the 10-point match tiebreaker, 10-5.

Were Sock and Querrey also Fedal's last doubles opponents? We'll have to wait until the next Laver Cup, to be held in Chicago next September, to find out.
