The sad moment that tennis fans feared came!

Retired Roger Federer bid farewell to the courts in shock to all those who enjoyed the game with him from fans, competitors and old players, unanimously agreed that the “maestro” would not be repeated.

Federer bid farewell to a doubles match with the Spanish veteran Rafael Nadal in the Laver Cup in the European team, which also included the Serbian Novak Djokovic, who was giving them advice during the game, to meet the “big three” at the last moment in the career of the retired  Roger Federer and with them also in the team Andy Murray.

Federer ended his 24-year career at the “O2” stadium, which saw him crowned 8 Wimbledon titles, to become the most winning major tournament title in history, and also lifted the Final Championship trophy twice.

And this time the award was not a title, but rather the honor that Federer received in the match, whose 20 thousand tickets were sold out.

In the stands where Federer’s mother Lynette, Australian tennis legend Rod Laver and retired Swede Bjorn Borg were in tears, among others, messages such as “Never leave”, “Never retire” and “Tennis will not remain the same without you”.

Retired Roger Federer : last Tears

The former Swedish player Stefan Edberg, like Federer in his youth and who met him in Switzerland before the beginning of his professional career, was the presenter of the event in which the outcome of the match was the least important, especially since John McEnroe, captain of the world team, was almost hoping that the American duo Jack Sock would not win And Francis Tiafoe in Roger’s last match, which he lost with Nadal 6-4, 6-7 (2-7), 9-11.

Above all of these, Nadal was the main supporter so that Federer did not bid farewell to the stadiums alone, especially since he has been absent from competitions for 14 months. The Spanish player, his companion, traveled to London, although he is waiting for the birth of his first child.

Federer, whose first racket was made of wood, ended the game with a hug from all his team members, amid the cheers of the audience, who chanted, “Roger, Roger, goodbye artist.”
