Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal's recent Louis Vuitton campaign generated widespread excitement within the tennis community. However, former Australian player Paul McNamee voiced his criticism, arguing that the campaign missed the mark by not including Novak Djokovic.

Federer and Nadal reunited for Louis Vuitton's 'Core Values' campaign, posing in Italy's Dolomites for renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz. The behind-the-scenes footage showcased the duo trekking through the mountains and experiencing Nadal’s first snowfall together. They shared insights into their first impressions of each other, their legacies, and sporting idols.

While fans celebrated the iconic 'Fedal' reunion, McNamee believed the campaign fell short of its potential. He suggested that including Djokovic, creating a "trinity" of the sport's greatest players, would have made for a more compelling narrative. McNamee expressed this sentiment on social media, stating, "FEDAL is amazing, but it ultimately falls short against the intrinsic power of the TRINITY, which links not two of the three, but the three greatest players in history."

McNamee also defended Djokovic against perceptions of being divisive and insincere. He argued that Djokovic’s popularity among fellow players contradicts this view, stating, "Djokovic is variously described as divisive and insincere. Of course, that’s from people who don’t know him. If you want the reality, ask the locker room. That’s where he is the MAN… highly respected and popular."
