Laver Cup tickets to watch Roger Federer in competitive action for the final time are being sold for more than £1,000.
The Swiss tennis legend announced his retirement from the sport on Thursday at the age of 41.
In an emotional video posted online, the 20-time Grand Slam champion confirmed the last tournament of his illustrious career will be the Laver Cup, scheduled to be held in London next weekend.
And in the hours since his announcement, tickets have skyrocketed in price, with opening day tickets being sold on resale platforms for £1,200.
The huge increase in price comes as spectators try to see Federer in action for the final time.
He will join a number of the world’s leading stars for the fifth edition of the Laver Cup next weekend, with the tournament beginning on Friday.
The competition, which Federer helped to establish in 2017, sees Team Europe go up against Team USA in tennis’ version of golf’s Ryder Cup, with nine singles and three doubles matches taking place at London’s O2 Arena.
