Roger Federer Retirement Ceremony

[@DM-bk9mn]

Losing Federer and Serena to retirement in the span of 3 weeks was something I never wanted to experience. Thank you Roger for everything!

[@YellowLimp]

When Djokovic got emotional & gutted seeing him with his fam.. when Nadal broke down in tears the entire time… omg this has to be one of the biggest if not the greatest moment in tennis history. Keep in mind Nadal had a pregnant wife who's about to give birth and he still made it just for Federer's day cos he knows it's arguably bigger

[@ThomasBöhm-l3v]

NOt even Tennis... In all of sports.

[@Arthic_Miller]

Agree, most beautiful moment in sport history. Agree also that also tennis can bring this kind of respect

[@b.willisfederer8720]

Another great moment was the 100th anniversary of the Wimbledon Centre Court a few months earlier, where John McEnroe and Sue Barker welcomed top of the winners of Wimbledon by the number of titles they got. 1st the people wh won it once, then 2 times... till 6, and then, no one with 7 (Sampras didn't come), and they said: "oh yes, we got someone with 8 titles, Rogeeeeer Federeeeeer", and he entered under the biggest mass hysteria ever, applauded by the crowd and Edberg, McEnroe, Rod Laver, Nadal, Djoko, Hingis, Hale, Kerber, Billie Jean King, Venus, Kvitova, Evert, Borg..... if u didn't watch the video, it's a MUST.

[@zackgreen6792]

@@tberry79 your right it's better can now see proper battles with players who can do everything, not like Federer with his erratic backhand & average defence, at times he wasn't much more than a big server! Was times in slams where Novak & Nadal beat him like he was a child! Same can't be said of Federer ever beating them that way! Federer is a fraud clocked up 15 slams by 2010 vs absolute bums, Bums the likes of Rafa Novak murray beat with total ease! Then when those 3 hitt 22 he won 5 slams out of the next 44! 3 of them when Novak elbow murray hip rafa knee out injured! People call hom the Goat Omgg pleaseeeee he wasn't even the best player in his own era not even close! We was lucky when seen them play each other and anyone who's honest knows Federer had lots of weaknesses the others had none

Roger is the best technically gifted. Djokovic is the mental beast. Nadal is the warrior who never gives up. All three are the best in their own way and way above everybody else.

I am watching Nadal vs Djokovic Six Kings Slam. Tears aren't stopping... Federer already retired. Nadal will retire in a month , Djokovic probably next year or the following. Having witnessed the big 3 in real time (since 2009) , it feels surreal. I miss late 2000s and early 2010s. Thank you Nadal ❤

[@mattiaserio9067]

The Federer retirement came at the worst time for me. Struggling with my beautiful girlfriend, struggling with myself... And then my idol, my lifetime hero, retires. I cried like i've done it before, for him and maybe for all toghether. It was the perfect occasion to let go the emotions... I ll be forever missing him. Thank you mr. Federer, you still are my source of inspiration, and thank you for everything. Grazie mille ❤

[@snickaren111]

Courier is the perfect interviewer for this. Never shifts focus to himself when he does his interviews. You almost forgot about him, which is what happens when great interviewers do their job. And what a player he once was, Jim, king of the mountain for a short while, took tennis to a new level with his modern game. I will never forget the RG-final with Agassi, that's when my lifelong love for tennis begun. So many great champions that has come and go since then. And of course, Federer is the most elegant player ever. No one will ever play the game with such a grace as he did. Happy retirement.

[@buns0r]

An event of true sportsmanship. Rivals on court, deep respect off court. Seeing Nadal crying really touches. All the best, Roger!

[@priyanayak797]

If there's one moment that can make me tear up like a small child it's Federer's retirement.. Especially when Ellie started singing "Burn" and he started embracing his family.. I freaking lose it every single time.. I was showing this to a friend of mine and I choked up, he was shocked... Yeah that's how much this man had an impact on me. Forever the greatest ❤️❤️❤️ RF👑

[@alonsomarin7]

Every now and then I come here to cry and smile, because we witnessed one of the greatest careers in tennis history unfold. From his prime, to the hard years with the injuries, to the greatest comebacks on the tour, to his farewell. Not the greatest winner, but the best that tennis has ever seen.

[@nonameman3741]

I don't know about anybody else,but i like and admire all three of them equally and, when it comes to who is the GOAT,i think that the GOAT of tennis has three heads : Roger,Rafa and Nole...and this comes from a huge Nole fan... :)))

[@xromyx]

that's the only right answer! I'm a huge fan of rafa and roger but i got as much respect for novak too and i think that's how it should be

[@sethfreakinrollins7]

That's a great call! I have always been a Roger fan but I respect all 3 of them and put all of them as the GOATs because there a lot of factors that matter in the head to head matches like the difference in their prime time, the surface and that's why I think these 3 should all be counted as the best ever because I don't see that ever happen again and we should appreciate it as well as we should be happy to watch Rafa and Novak until we can no matter who we are supporting most!

[@XXKINGDARKXX1]

I also share the same view. The three of them together is what made the sport beautiful.

[@rzagza11]

Exactly this. I always found it shortsighted the disdain some stupid fans have for the other 2 legends. People are just dumb by nature unfortunately. I have tried to cherish every moment of these 3 goats. Bc this golden era will never happen again in my lifetime.

[@reinosolemosfedericoalejan1831]

Every time I see Roger's retirement it breaks me, I cry hard. He is the reason why I love tennis, he was my dad's favorite tennis player who has since passed away, that's why when Roger retired it was like I lost my father a little more. but Federer also gave us several beautiful moments together and I will always be grateful for that❤️

[@williamcaton3409]

Djokovic and Nadal in tears at their longtime rival's retirement. They truly respect and care about each other despite how much disrespect their fans show for the other 2 legends. Despite being a Novak fan I will always love the other 2 and in my opinion all three of them are GOATs since they all needed each other to achieve the success that they have. I feel truly blessed to be alive during the best era tennis has ever seen and probably will ever see. Let's all celebrate the Big 3. Love you and miss you Roger and I hope Rafa comes back stronger than ever next year so he and Novak can have a few last battles before they join Roger in retirement.

[@Fed-np9ez]

Lol this is a no crying challenge in the future for sure

[@eaglewinnings8003]

The viva la vida did it for me. I’ve been a sports fan my whole life but I remember the first time I watched a full tennis match was the 2007 Australian Open. It was Fernando Gonzalez vs Tommy Haas. Gonzalez dominated Haas thoroughly and I was thinking to myself, “this guy is something special”. I was a professional poker player who dabbled in sports betting. I remember seeing the odds and this guy named Federer was a 6-1 favorite. I laughed and thought “well he must be pretty good but how is 6-1 possible? How is he going to beat this Gonzalez guy who just made a top 10 player look like a child?”. So I went ahead and put a little bit of money on Gonzalez. Needless to say whatever I lost that day was worth it because for the next 15 years Roger gave me so many memories. In the first couple years my scheduling flexibility allowed me to watch almost all of his matches. After that from about 2009 to 2021 I didn’t miss a single match. Not one. It didn’t matter if it was at 2 AM in Shanghai, 6 AM in Monte Carlo, 9 AM in Rome, noon at Wimbledon, 2 PM in Miami, 5 PM in Indian Wells, 8 PM at the US Open, 10 PM at the Australian Open. I can’t tell you how many birthday parties, how many nights out, how many get togethers with friends, how many events with so many friends I’ve missed to witness Roger play it was all worth it.
