In a recent interview for the ATP website, Roger Federer admitted that he was impressed by the messages he received in recent weeks. Roger told: “The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of emotions. A lot of good things have been written about me, both as a player and as a person.
I am happy that many people have appreciated my character, I did not expect it. people would have focused almost exclusively on my achievements, my titles and my victories. The messages I received far exceeded my expectations.
Every sport always creates new superstars, not to worry. I see a incredibly bright future for both men and women. We have fantastic years ahead.” A few days ago, David Nalbandian returned to the farewell of the Swiss Maestro: “We all would have liked him to play forever, but it was an inevitable decision.
His knee has given him enormous problems in recent years and his physique could no longer bear certain efforts.”
Roger left tennis in September
Roger Federer said goodbye to the tennis he played last month, playing his last match at the Laver Cup.
In the exhibition he founded, the former world number 1 played a double alongside his long-time rival Rafael Nadal. The Swiss phenomenon received a splendid tribute at the end of the match and was able to share that moment with his greatest opponents.
The 41-year-old from Basel tried hard to get back in shape, but his right knee didn’t respond adequately. The King experienced a timid comeback last year, playing just 13 official matches and stopping again after Wimbledon.
The 20-time Grand Slam champion was hoping to treat himself to a final round of jousting in 2023, but there was nothing to do. In the letter published on Instagram on September 15, the Swiss Maestro promised that he will not stray from the sport that has made him a global icon.
