OT: Roger Federer - Last On Court Interview
This interview is as powerful as the vaunted Federer forehand. His tears, his wife's tears, his parents tears, Rafa's tears, tell you all that you need to know about what this man has meant to the game of tennis for the last 20 years. He will be missed.

Those Tiafoe forehands were amazing.
Sock is such a good doubles player, too.
I think this was a prefect way to retire, great timing and with the company of his greatest foes and teammates. Definately the end of a very special era in professional tennis.

While Federer's exit from tennis was a wonderfully planned event at the Laver Cup, the absolute perfect ending would've been if Federer - Nadal had WON the last point of the match.

No one will ever hit a more beautiful backhand, or promote the sport of tennis with more grace and class, than Roger Federer

No one will ever hit a more beautiful backhand...
It's gorgeous, but I prefer Borg's looping 2-handed backhand.

Would have loved to see him get a proper send off playing one more Wimbledon.
He is the epitome of class.

You can find the VID on YouTube. Wow. Tear jerker. Thanks for sharing.

It was a fun match to watch. Federer and Nadal will leave a legacy that will last for generations where Tiafoe seems to be the future of the game. I enjoyed the mutual respect from the players.
I suspect Federer may have wanted his last match to be this way rather than on a big stage like Wimbledon. Some people do not like the attention and prefer to fade quietly into the limelight.

I dunno man- Laver Cup is always a really cool event and the place was PACKED. Yes, this was not Wimbledon, but it wasn't some challenger event.

If you didn't get tears in your eyes, you are not a human being.

I cried a little ngl

If I could be any sportsman over the past 20 years it would be Charles Woodson or Roger Federer.
2 all time greats, timeless moments, ultimate success, class acts, no drama.
Tom Brady’s life seems glorious too, but at least appears to be more drama filled.
While we never know what goes on behind closed doors, Chuck and Fed would be my top man crushes.
