Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are at it again.
The legendary rivals have teamed up with Louis Vuitton in its "Core Values'' campaign, which was released over the weekend. The main values center on "a journey beyond the physical, a commitment to excellence, and a transmission of dreams."
Federer and Nadal, who met 40 times during their illustrious careers on the ATP Tour, including nine major finals, were featured in a full page spread in the New York times, photographed by legendary Annie Leibovits.
"It's a unique opportunity to be working on this campaign with Rafa. How we could be such rivals and then at the end of our careers be beside each other doing this campaign has been very cool," Federer said in a press statement.
The Vuitton campaign has been running for over a decade and a half.
Followed by the tagline “There are journeys that turn into legends” a statement reads: “Captured through the lens of renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal illustrate how each personal journey can reach legendary heights when pursued with determination and a pioneering spirit. Discover behind the scenes of the latest Core Values campaign embodied by the athletes who went from youthful prodigies to global icons.”
Federer and Nadal produced a short video amongst the falling snow, which features them reflecting on their careers, rivalry and special moments.
