Berrettini received coaching advice from Federer during the match on Day 2 of the three-day team event. Novak Djokovic played for the first time since winning Wimbledon in July and beat Frances Tiafoe 6-1, 6-3. Federer closed his career on Friday night. The 20-time Grand Slam champion’s last match came in doubles alongside Rafael Nadal.
