Federer says goodbye to tennis with Rafa Nadal

September 24, 2022 will always be remembered as a sad day for the world of sports, but also as an extremely exciting day for sports lovers. Tennis has officially said goodbye to Roger Federer and has done so at the Laver Cup in London playing a doubles match alongside his rival on the court and friend in life, Rafa Nadal.

Even before the match was played, at the presentation, Federer received a monumental ovation:

The match was honestly the least important although it had absolutely everything and was decided in the Super Tie Break. The public had a great time, both live and on television, watching the last strokes of the Swiss master. His one-handed backhand, his serve, his forehand, his volleys…every point, whatever it was, was analyzed and celebrated.

With the O2 packed to the brim and the likes of Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray, the other members of the Big 4, on the European bench, the night was full of emotion and no wonder. Rafa and Roger, together, could not beat Tiafoe and Sock, but that was the least of it.

Federer was moved at the end of the match and everyone present was moved, including Rafa Nadal who enjoyed the match with his great friend and ended up crying with Roger.

Thank you Roger. You are eternal.
