Farewell to one of the GOATs of the game. There’ll never be more graceful tennis player than HIM.
Goddamn, end of an era. Really thought he could squeeze in another season.
Feels strange and abrupt and a bit anti-climactic for the announcement to come after such an extended period of downtime, but I suppose we should be grateful that he stuck around for as long as he has.
Grew up watching him, end of an era man. Farewell to one of the greatest ever
Wow, rough month for tennis…
Nice, I’ll finally have a chance.
End of an Era. Thank you for the memories Roger.
Nobody did it better or with more class, really hoped he’d get one more slam but time and injuries caught up to him.
Serena’s hit me pretty hard last week making me realize that I’m gonna witness Fed’s sometime soon. Didn’t think it’d only be a week for the announcement to come out. I was just hoping I’d see him play one more time live. End of an era and thank you for all the memories, Roger.
As a swiss sports fan it’s sad to see the most successful swiss sportsman of all time retire
He was tennis to me. He will always be tennis for me.
One of the all time greatest, imo not just for Tennis but sports in generall. Incredible ambassador for Switzerland. Merci, Roger!
This man was the reason I started playing tennis
Yeah, this one hurts
Federer is one of the greatest to ever play and and his 5 year Wimbledon and US Open streak was amazing. Glad to have been able to experience that.
Now I’m just waiting for the Nadal shoe to drop… All the pros I grew up watching and imitating. This is sad 🙁
This makes me sad. Happy-sad.
> His serve has world-class pace and a degree of placement and variety no one else comes close to; the service motion is lithe and uneccentric, distinctive (on TV) only in a certain eel-like all-body snap at the moment of impact. His anticipation and court sense are otherworldly, and his footwork is the best in the game — as a child, he was also a soccer prodigy. **All this is true, and yet none of it really explains anything or evokes the experience of watching this man play**. – David Foster Wallace
One of my all time favourite quotes. Breaking down the game of someone like Federer or Messi or Jordan is impossible because they’re greater than the sum of their parts. They have the ineffable quality of itness.
Tennis fans have truly been blessed to have a champion who wasn’t only a generational talent, but also an amazing human being and a great ambassador to the sport. He’s a fierce competitor but realizes the sport is bigger than him, all while being a family man, a husband, a father.
Congratulations Roger on a generational career, and I hope whatever comes next involves lots of family, friends, love, and hopefully a little tennis here and there :).
>I will play more tennis in the future, of course
I am satisfied with this
the true GOAT imo
Loved every minute of watching you Roger!! Watched you since 05
The way he gracefully hits the ball all around the court, making his opponent chase it and obviously wears them down physically was just pure to watch.
The most complete out of the big 3?
I think so.
I’ve always seen tennis as a young persons game as much or more so than any other sport. It seems like people in their early 20s are often near the top of the rankings. Staying at the top past 30 years old is super impressive. Staying there past 40 is just unbelievable. Incredible career.
Serena, Roger… It feels like the end of an era. We’re getting old guys
One of the best to ever do it 👑
God damn I’ll never forget that 2008 Fed v. nadal match. Highly regarded as the best tennis match ever played.
I remember back in 03 when most finals were Jiri Novak vs Federer. Gonna miss his class and technique
His grace on / off the court will be missed.
Sad
I hate when people compare Federer to god. I mean he’s good, but he’s not Federer.
