This man is the definition of class and statesmanship. Tennis has never had a better Ambassador and imo, never will again.

The best 👌 there is.

[@ebrahimhoosain6216]

Lendl and federer my favourite players

[@ryuhayabusa6776]

I agree. Very well said.

[@wow3950]

Never had a public breakdown or scandal, stayed at the top of the game for decades, and acted as an ambassador for the sport around the world. The man is the definition of class.

[@getrichbrothers9432]

Imagine a guy like Federer having the humility to ask if it would be okay for him to play even something like Doubles from Borg. He's an amazing guy and we're all so fortunate to have had him as part of our great sport.

[@piner74]

true, but borg is pure marketing and effectively has nothing to say. did you hear him say anything to his team except "come on, let's go"?! :-) none of the players ever asked for his advice either.

[@sh0001]

I would love to see Federer as a commentator for tennis matches. He understands the game so well.

[@taopaille-paille4992]

that would be so great. I d love to see him in the senior tour too if his knee is not broken

[@mitzabrigada1748]

As a Rafa fan, I have most respect for Roger. Thank you, CHAMPION!

[@dinfak7939]

And I as a Roger fan have the most respect for Rafa. And especially after his today's dedication to help Roger's last match to be a winning one and his tears afterwards not only because Federer's retirement but also because they lost in his last match says much for his great character... He did everything he could and he wanted Roger to win more than even Roger wanted himself today lol. But im can't overcome Roger's retirement... The saddest thing is that he didn't stop tennis because he wanted to, but because he was forced by injuries. I hope that it won't be the same with Rafa and I wish him a long duration and even more success for the rest of his career from the bottom of my heart he deserves it...

[@MrGenexxx]

And as a Novak fan I have ZERO respect for Roger and Rafa AHAHAHAHA SCREW THEM BOTH! NOLE IS THE GOAT!

[@dinfak7939]

Such a class athlete and person - a true inspiration. Wonderful privilege to watch him over the years. He deserves all the kudos he gets.

[@brucebarton4645]

From 2001 when he beat Sampras at Wimbledon, I was a fan. Never expected what he would achieve and how he'd set the bar, and how he'd push Rafa and vice-versa and helped create Novak and Andy as well. There was a time they all were chasing him. He's always been my fave and always will. A gentleman and class act. Artist on the court.

[@BinaryRex18]

Federer is always so classy, well-spoken and gracious in interviews. Simply one of the greatest tennis players ever

[@GMBethHarmon]

All these years, I've been cheering for Nadal to beat Federer whenever they meet. But now that Fed is bowing out, I'm just so sad to see him retire. The end of the era, the passing of a legend, and an all-time great. 😢We've truly been spoiled.

Roger, you are extraordinary and are a wonderful role model for all people. Thank you.

[@shantijacob8651]

My God he surely is the definition of Tennis. Such class and value he gives to everyone.

[@rszanger]

There are so many great sports stars in every sports. However, many stars don't have quite demeanor, personality such as Federer. He is definitely the true role model on, and off the court. He is the definition of true champion. Every sportsmen need to learn a lot from him how he carried himself, treated others throughout his twenty plus years of his amazing tennis career. Im going to miss him a lot...he's the main reason that I watched, played tennis years ago.

With kids these days playing a lot of video games, Federer and Nadal made my kids play tennis and being outside playing the sport. Thank you!

[@anondodasgupta5275]

He ways was great to listen to as well. Great to watch and great to listen. I will definitely miss him. Tennis will not be the same anymore without him. I will probably not care for what is going on and who is no. 1 or what. I remember it was Roger who brought my interest back in the game after the Agassi - Sampras era came to an end. Now he is gone. But, he gave us so many great moments and I also had the privilege to see him play live in Delhi and that was an awesome moment in my life.

Un ottimo tennista , sempre un grande piacere vedere un suo match .Una carriera splendida

[@cameliaa8069]

I have been watching 100% of RF's matches since 2004, when I was a kid; not possible to watch them live, I watched them recorded or online. I was never able to see him live, though it was a great wish since childhood... Now... I have mixed feelings, but for sure I feel sad for not being able (time, money) to be in that atmosphere created in one of his matches. And I feel sad because this ends now. I went to his website and I bought a cap, with his logo and "Roger" on the back, in a beautiful dark green colour. It is a nice cap. In the end, I feel grateful for being able to watch his amazing career in colors. 😊

[@thetmjhealer]

Roger's love of the game is not in question. He has plenty of fame, fortune, and celebrity. I would be very interested in hearing him speak about what tools he used to motivate himself, decade after decade, that enabled him to maintain the mentally positive competitive attitude necessary to continue playing at an elite level. Knowing you must still practice for hours, do hours of physical exercise to maintain strength and flexibility, play through the aches and pains, have lots of physiotherapy, etc., all these things would eventually make most players lose their mojo. I would enjoy hearing him speak about motivation, how to sustain a winning frame of mind, how do you stay focused on the positive aspects instead of being distracted by the negatives? You'd think that after having knee surgery, all of the above would make him call it quits, and yet he still wanted to see if his body could get back into game shape. I'll certainly miss watching you, but I'm grateful for your professional attitude, your public display of sensibility, and for years of entertainment with masterclass shot making. We never hear about your philanthropic endeavours. I would find it worthwhile to see your leadership side, to see how the world is benefiting from what tennis enabled you to do.
