Roger Federer Talks Nadal, Djokovic, Murray & Retirement | Laver Cup 2022 

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

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.

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.

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

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

When Roger speaks it is so genuine, truthful and heartful. Sometimes so funny & silly. It is complete open heart. This is one of the major reasons why we love ❤️ Roger along with his beautiful tennis.

Such a legend, King Roger is a true gentleman.

Roger will always be the GOAT no matter the records. I’m so happy I got to see him and Joker play a final at IW in the second row. Was an amazing experience.

I love Tennis because of Roger Federer , true Legend 🤙

He came, He saw, He conquered. Not just the world of tennis but also our hearts and created a dent in the universe.

What a champion. On the court and in life. ❤️ Simply thank you Roger.

the definition of elegance personified. period

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

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

Who's here crying after seeing his last match?

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.

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

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.

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.

I love Roger....huge fan since 2000... so can't help tearing up now. my love to Roger always and just want to say I will continue to support him in all his future endeavors. what he has done for the game and how he has elevated the sport and showed us how tennis players can also be global ambassadors and the best of men, he is truly worth idolizing. Roger, you are extraordinary and are a wonderful role model for all people. Thank you.

thank you, Roger Federer, for setting such a high benchmark of class, eloquence, and sportsmanship in global sports. tennis will never be the same after you retire. ever. you will always be the maestro virtuoso of tennis 🙌 #teamFederer

How much he embraces and enjoys his relationships (by choice) with his greatest rivals is very unique, and makes him so different than any other athlete ever

This is THE man,thankyou for everything Roger you are a true GREAT.

The "Gentleman of Tennis" leaves. The GOAT. His Majesty. I am truly sad as many people around the world. It will be very difficult for someone to take his place. From Ecuator

Roger Federer, the most elegant tennis player of all time “ MEAT”……. …..and one of the most elegant men ever.

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.

You can tell that Roger really loves and enjoys sportsmanship and companionship from his fellow players and friends.

Thank you for everything Roger! We love you so much and we can't wait to see you back in a different capacity. Wishing you all the best and we are all waiting for Fed-Rafa doubles.

Omg when he says the home court advantage he will never take it for granted... Humble Goat

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!

I will be so original but have to say it love, love, love this guy! Thank you, Roger, for what you presented on the court and beyond!

I flew from the States on Friday, watched him at O2 on Sat, I had to, and came back the same day, today it felt like a dream, thank you Roger for how profoundly you impacted our lives.

A legend will miss you Roger

All the best for you my idol ❤️ The Greatest 👑

The GOAT.

He's pretty special. Tennis god. Likable man. He's been given quite a retirement send-off and I think he deserves it. Will probably be the last name to be forgotten by the world of tennis. I say that while being a loyal Djokovic fan.

Roger will definitely be a good mentor and coach. Lucky the young players who will be given the opportunity to be under the tutelage of the greatest of all time tennis player. We love you Roger and will miss you. All the best and take care always. Please do consider commentating every now and then 😊

Such an amazing humble man and an ambassador for the sport You will be missed on the courts but enjoy the next stage of your life with your family ❤

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

Hvala Rodzeru, Novaku, Rafi koji su svojim vrhunskim teniskim umecem a I sportskim ponasanjem- uticali na mladje generacije da se bave tenisom I postanu dobri sportisti I ljudi. H V A L A A A

Role model for the world ❤

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. 😊

I watch tennis because of Federer!an avid fan of him,wish him good life always!he will always be in our hearts!

Besides everything he showed on and off the court for two decades, his charity work and being such a phenomenal ambassador, his idea to start the Laver Cup is on another level of his genius giving it back to the game helping nurture player camaraderie

3 guys took 63 major titles. It won’t happen again.

I don’t even watch tennis or understand it very well but I’m very aware fond and respect highly the three headed goat of tennis. Like football has a two headed goat, maybe basketball too.

What a Champion in every way 👏could never find anyone better tennis won't be the same love you Rodger your fan always

Thank you Roger for everything ..

Roger should play exhibitions all over the world - that would make so many people happy

Wishing Roger all the best in retirement!

Thank you Roger. It was great !! I had many happy times watching you play your brilliant game !! I wish you the very best while you start this new stage in your life with your beautiful family ! 💕🌷

Nole fan....but Roger is a legend. Some of the greatest matches of all time between the Big 3

Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, Murray in one team is like Tyson, Kai, Ray, Max from Bladebrakers 😎

Nobody has given more to tennis than this man.

Roger ❤

thank you roger!

Classy and humble champion🏆 #GOAT

Roger Federer the greatest ever Champion never to forget. Thank you my Hero. Paris, France 🙏👏🥰

KING ROGER

Not a Federer fan but u've got to just love & respect for what he's done for tennis 🎾 world 👏

Ooffffff. Can’t believe one of the GOATS retired on my day of birth. I say nole is 1, Rafa 2, Roger 3. But it’s CLOSE. And if i could choose I’d play like the Swiss Maestro

wish to see u play once but it is what it is, thq very much Roger !! Your are the reason i watched tennis.. thankyou will miss you already

Great interview.

The game will definitely miss Roger from a big Nole fan Respect

Such a humble man

Brilliant man Roger true legend

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.

Hope to see you again, Maestro! ❤

You will always be with the heart of peoples who love seing you whenever you play. You are the Champion of Tennis in the world. Every tennis great but you make tennis special.

Just immagine Roger and John Mc , both together commentating a tennis match. I would watch the game just to hear them talk !

Roger has been a poetry in motion on court and such a statesman off it. His being made my association with a Swiss company such a matter of pride in career. Hope to see him in some tennis avatar again. I am sure he will excel like always.

Going to miss you so much roger

Federer, amazing human being, respectful and real professional tennis player. Such a gentleman. The tennis world would surely miss you.

he's so humble and down to earth

Eres único gracias bendiciones

I want to see Federer in any capacity around tennis. Literally anything he wants to do, even if he ballboys a match again :) Hope he also plays on the senior tour.

Class Act. He is missed.

Miss you already Roger 😩😩😩, what’s even worse is I can’t afford the expensive ticket 😩

Roger would be THE PERFECT commentator. He speaks and communicates at top levels, speaks 5 or 6 languages fluently, knows about Tennis ( Duhhh) and mostly, ....i just wanna hear his voice, and i'd feel he would still be around, and in touch with the fans.

What a gent he is......

Roger commentator!!❤

Definitely I want him as a commentator for Tennis ! Who is best at this ? I want Rafa and Federer together calling Tennis matches !!!

I trust he’ll get another farewell at his hometown Basel later in the year when the tournament finishes❤️

We needed that big 4 earlier! Can’t believe it was upon retirement that they all came together

This man is class personified. He, Rafa and Novak all bring something different to the table but I think Roger moved with more grace on the court.

I guess that Marc Rosset would be pleased to hear what RF is appreciate ex tennis player being commentator… 😊that’s encouraging for all of them..

Can't wait if one day Roger commentating Grand Slams finals, talk about how it feels when play against Rafa or Novak, that would be awesome!!!

Jannik Sinner will follow in his footsteps.

🐐

Dam you Roger why you doing this 💔💔💔💔

That would be beyond cool! RF commentating!

💔🐐

I hasbeen crying For your retirement. My dream was ser You. Allá My love Mr federeryourfamily You are an exsmple. I love youas SPORT family guíe ando m6 Idol. I cried somuch laver cup venezuela

Great in everything! What could I say, Roger? Simple thing: I'll never watch tennis again!

The last part about the old codgers being sore losers is true, you just cannot get tired of listening to this man (if you do get tired then there’s something seriously wrong with you). Commentary might be it for the next chapter and I’m here for it

Le boss part mais ces exploits et sa personnalités restera a vie merci pr tt roger

❤😘

Hope Roger becomes a pundit for BBC Wimbledon every year. As he is the King on grass.

So sad his last set ever as a singles player was a bagel on centre court😢

I'm up for a match, Roger (?)
