[@leicestergirl63]

Tina Tini: You imply that Federer hasn't worked as hard as, and isn't as good as, Djokovic. You need to educate yourself and know the facts before you make such a baseless, stupid comment. Federer didn't get where he is by not working hard. He's hugely talented, hard working, successful, famous to the point that even people who don't follow tennis know who he is - and he's still humble, grounded and immensely likeable. As successful as Djokovic is, the same can't be said of him. He can be incredibly arrogant, nasty (as in when he berates his 'team' in their box when he plays a match that isn't going his way and he's making lots of mistakes!) and his obsession with trying to be as popular as players such as Federer and Nadal is pretty pathetic. He'll never achieve that kind of popularity and no amount of money or fake gestures, such as his celebratory routine at the end of matches that he wins, can buy that.

[@anakrstic7034]

@@leicestergirl63 You might also want to brush up on your judgemental notes as well. ALL three of them are a generation that will hardly be repeated in the years to come. And for some of us, Djokovic was what Federer or Nadal were for others. He also had to work extra hard to win the respect Federer naturally enjoyed, not to mention constant matches when it feels like no one's on his side. I'm not saying he hadn't made mistakes, but he definitely matured so much and is a great role model to many. So please, be careful on disrespectful comments, seems like you're also seeing only the side of the story you want to.

[@TheJoker-jx1hd]

Believe it or not, but Federer threw many tantrums back in the day (like Kygrios), and greatly struggled with his mental problems and his own attitude. He frequently threw his racquet, unable to control his temper on the court, which was mainly responsible for him falling short in the grand slams. He was quite a spoilt brat back then. However, Peter Carter's death, which occurred in 2002, shocked him into maturity, and changed his career as well as the history of tennis forever. As a result of this tragic event, Federer immediately changed his attitude. He then blazed through his opponents without showing any signs of mental fragility, all the way to his first grand slam, which is what we have come to see from him over the years :) If this had not happened, Federer would have likely gone down as an angry prodigy who failed to fulfill his potential, much like Tomic.

[@ertugrulkorpinar51]

S C yeah which Party

[@akhrormuminov7180]

Called a dream

[@Liamnerfdude1]

S C what party?

[@fakhretaj]

Wow. Man you are really lucky. He is my hero and my favourite personality and if i get a wish to meet somebody then my answer would be ROGER FEDERER ❤️

[@MrGibo2000]

This Man has a beautiful Soul. Probably one of the most loveable, down to earth players we've ever seen. I don't often watch Tennis, but I watch Roger Federer.

[@mikelarry1969]

I think that’s most people. Its not tennis we follow its roger.

[@stephaneprivate1013]

Emotional moment, talented interviewer, legendary player. Long life tennis. From a Nole fan.

[@Shiljamannn]

This is not about Roger crying, it's about the man who didn't live long enough to see his work come to fruition.

[@BalarajMenon]

I know I'll be inconsolable when this man retires.

[@prash175]

You'll be inconsolable for 1 minute, may be 1 hour or may 1 day max.

[@prash175]

@Abraham Villalobos You could regret it for a month ,an year or for a life time that's totally up to you. My point was about 'incosolable' part. 🙂

[@BalarajMenon]

@@prash175 Which is why I didn't reply. 😀 Life moves on.

[@BalarajMenon]

@RS2002 And who might you be to advise me on my priorities?

[@venkatr56]

The Godfather do not try to be over smart !!!!he didn’t mention abt how long he would be inconsolable... he just mentioned that he would be inconsolable when he retires....

[@listenmusic9811]

Okay, now I know why he cries at the Australian Open so much. God -- imagine just getting that wound ripped open every time.

[@jon_durham]

Listen Music yeah but CNN gotta get him crying haha

[@MrWozOSRS]

Wow when he started crying it hit me instantly. Rodger you are the best tennis player EVER! in my opinion.. When you retire I will cry. Your dad is super proud you have made the world proud. Your talent is unbelievable. You got nothing left to prove. G.O.A.T

[@antoinelfb6771]

2:27 The shoulder and the head movements were already too much for me. Such a sincere body language

[@tclass99]

I know it's a long shot but a big part of me wants him to win gold at the Summer Olympics next year in Tokyo.... would be en epic ending to an amazing career.

[@andrewherbert8125]

Great thought, but feel sad when you mention it ending, hopefully a few years away

[@Baboesjki]

He had the chance in London 2012. Missed it sadly :(

[@ilyazinkevych7804]

what kind of ending are u talking about. Rog still goes to semis and finals. hello??

[@dstillRO]

He is an olympic gold medal winner, he has that! Stop with this bs

[@Baboesjki]

Alex Andru You and i both now that Roger doesn’t count that doubles medal. So no, he hasn’t that singles medal.

[@janehernandez5049]

There will never be another Roger, he is so special as a player, a person for younger players to look up to, a great competitor and as a sensitive man who is tough on the court but always such a gentleman.

[@brekezek]

I disagree I am sure there will be some Roger juniors in the future generations inspired by him

[@lesandres23]

From ball boy to an ambassador of tennis ❤️

[@alphadragonn3685]

Seeing Roger cry almost made me cry 😭 I've not been watching tennis for very long at all but I love this guy and hope for only the best for him. He's accomplished so much and will be remembered for generations ✊

[@giovanna7342]

Me too haven't seen tennis for a long...and I missed a loot!! Now I see on YT good! Roger and Rafa 🤩😍🤩

[@amyelizabeth529]

His unwavering passion for family, friends, philanthropy, tennis... is deep, admirable and endearing. It's what has defined both he and his game. So appreciative Roger is still enjoying the game we all enjoy watching him play. Humble and amazing man and athlete.

[@eugene289]

Allison Elizabeth did you know that his parents live with him and his wife and kids?? He had this house built a home in Switzerland made of all glass. Crazy

[@samhue4194]

@greg oscar And that silly clown has 20 grand slams you dumb fuck

[@__jan6113]

greg oscar your fault not being able to see his human side beyond his wealth. If you don’t like him don’t watch him as simple as that.

[@GrandmaBetty1945]

I think that it's his sensitivity that makes him so perfect. As a player but also as a human being.

[@pranavarya8584]

One of the greatest athletes the world has ever seen. And now he’s the most famous athlete in recent history to announce his retirement. The most elegant player. Truly a legend. Will be deeply missed in grand slam tennis.

[@CHARLIE77153]

Totally agree. I mean no words.

[@SugaKisses00]

What a fantastic man, and the interviewer was just amazing too very respectful and well spoken. What a lovely moment.

[@AbhijitPattanayak]

Peter carter made RF cry. RF cry made me cry. My cry made my mom cry. She doesn't even know what tennis is- a sport or movie, still tears came.. What a Legend!!!! Take a bow

[@raulp9171]

Wow! that's a cascade!

[@soniahachemi4025]

😂 !! Like !!!

[@Tjudgesgirl]

Kudos to this interviewer who is relaxed and down to earth; heartfelt interview

[@dreamer2260]

Yes; she was excellent.

[@royl1020]

I started crying too. Such a classy and humble guy. G.O.A.T!

[@elviradela728]

Very sweet and goodhearted person. I see in his tears how deeply loved his friend! Blessings to him and everybody in the world.

[@vai82dabang19]

Aww Federer those tears where from the heart! God bless you for that

[@Rahulvg87]

From Switzerland, but loved by people all around the world!! this man is so humble !!

[@sols9449]

I’m sure he was in the box watching every single one. ❤️ we all love you Roger. You gave us all so much.

[@bills2843]

2:32 this is exactly how I'll cry when Roger retires

[@291akhil]

World needs to be like him

[@oldskoolheavyweights1767]

Roger Frederer....an Absolute gentleman. Humble, gracious and brilliant at what he does.........LEGEND!!!

[@demian900]

Roger humility is the best of the best, He's a Heart.

[@atharvghaisas5234]

Nostalgia is the strongest feeling.. So True

[@marcelasdq1168]

Roger Federer is for me the biggest inspiration human on Earth. He's such a great Tennis player and so thankful for everything. A Real Sportsman, friend ... U cant describe how great he is!

[@marwinreeves3274]

Really sweet for Roger to share his vulnerability with the world. It reminds us he’s human.

[@GuppyPal]

This is what true love and appreciation looks like. It's great to see how much he cares, how much he appreciates Peter.

[@shauncampbell4371]

You can tell how much he appreciates the impact Peter had on his career.

[@ravim3891]

"being emotional"- thats the hallmark of a true legend...

[@ramdomvidz9124]

you made me cry bro... i hope you will be wimbledon Champ 2019

[@ghaith3260]

He is absolutely a Wimbledon19 champ.. but sadly without the cup

[@AlbertoSkyrim1995]

I can't stop my tears coming out from my eyes, EVERY SINGLE TIME I watch this video. The KING is such humble, such an incredible person/human being. Thank you for being like this, for being a HUGE example to follow and to inspire to the future generations. Thank you very much Roger. Always in my mind and in my heart. And of course, thanks to Peter, he did his part to made him one of the GOATS of this wonderful sport.

[@Sams911]

wow, this guy can mop the floor with 99.99999% of tennis players and yet a true gentleman.
