Cameras panned to Federer, 45, and Henry as Italy’s Flavio Cobolli faced off against the United States’ Learner Tien in the first match of the day on Saturday.

They appeared deep in conversation as Tien looked to level the overall tournament score after a positive first day for Team Europe.

Both stars were then seen looking up to the big screen before Laver Cup co-founder Federer waved to the crowd.

This sent fans on social media into meltdown as they celebrated the unexpected linkup.

One fan on X said: “Too much greatness in one video.”

Another commented: “Side by side. Two geniuses.”

A third fan posted: “Our hero❤️♥️.”

Henry was invited to the tournament as a VIP, with Federer’s TEAM8 launching, and playing in, the Laver Cup in 2017.

Other fans have suggested that Federer and Henry may have been discussing their mutual business interests, with both sharing an interest in Swiss sportswear brand On.

Federer joined On in 2019 as a co-entrepreneur, with Henry later being signed as the company’s football director.

Their partnership has notably seen France forward Kylian Mbappe ditch Nike to sign a lucrative deal with On earlier in September.

A fourth fan shared: “Federer and Henry, together at the Laver Cup, with business dealings in between: ON and, therefore, Mbappé…”

The pair watched on as Tien claimed a 6-3, 2-6, 10-7 win to bring Team World level with Europe at 3-3.

Henry then stepped onto the court to greet Germany‘s Alexander Zverev who took on Australian Alex de Minaur ahead of the day’s second match.
