Roger Federer offered Novak Djokovic some coaching advice during his Laver Cup clash against Kevin Anderson

Roger Federer offered his team-mate Novak Djokovic some coaching advice as Team Europe looked to maintain their advantage over Team World at the Laver Cup on Saturday.

Kevin Anderson caused one of the biggest upsets of the tournament so far, beating Djokovic 7-6 (7-5) 5-7 10-6.

The South African served his way out of trouble, while errors from Djokovic meant he again failed to put any points on the board after Friday's doubles loss with Federer.

Team Europe Roger Federer of Switzerland and Team Europe Novak Djokovic of Serbia talk prior to their Men's Doubles match against Team World Kevin Anderson of South Africa and Team World Jack Sock of the United States on day one of the 2018 Laver Cup at the United Center on September 21, 2018 in Chicago, Illinois.

One of the most unforgettable moments of the dramatic match came just before the start of the deciding tie-breaker when the Swiss maestro offered the reigning Wimbledon and US Open champion some much-needed advice.

Mark Petchey said Federer's advice was "great coaching" with the analyst adding that the 37-year-old is "so in-tune with the sport."
