I'm going to miss you, Roger. I already do.

 

[Kralingen]

Feels like a dagger even though the writing has been on the wall for a while.

A childhood hero of mine and an inspiration to tens of millions of tennis fans everywhere. What a player.

 

[Hitman]

Thank you Roger Federer!!!!!!!

What an incredible champion you were, are and always will be.

What a pleasure it was to watch you since back in 1998, all the way through to the end.

I am glad I got to watch you play. Thank you for all the memories. Enjoy the rest of your life, your legacy will never die.

 

[Backspin1183]

End of an era.

We all already miss you, Roger.

Thanks for the wonderful memories will last me a lifetime.

Happy for him time to enjoy life.

[Hitman]

The most aesthetically pleasing player I have ever seen in my life, both in person and on the screen. Glad I got to see his amazing career.

 

[Bartelby]

Somewhat inevitable, unfortunately.

 

[TJfederer16]

Even though in reality it was so close and expected I’m still completely shocked he’s actually called it

 

[mahatma]

Wow! An amazing athlete retires. Millions watched tennis because of him. A great role model of the game. Surely will be missed!

 

[bhpower]

Great player and champion.
He revolutionized tennis and will be missed.

 

[NastyWinners]

The reason I got into tennis 23 years ago. Today is a bittersweet day.

 

[mike danny]

Somewhat inevitable, unfortunately.

Good guy Fed allowed us 2.5 years to get used to it so there would be less tears.

 

[Sarzy]

Knew it was coming but still gutted to see this announcement. I can't imagine I'll ever see a player I enjoy watching more than Roger. Thanks for all the memories Roger!

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

RIP tennis

 

[Carax]

Good guy Fed allowed us 2.5 years to get used to it so there would be less tears.

Still crying, though.

 

[Nadal15thslam]

I knew it would happen, I'm a Rafa fan and I'm still super sad to hear this. What a champion! The most talented tennis player ever by far. Thank you for the memories, Roger!

 

[Legend of Borg]

Dammit, now that Wimbledon match from last year is going to be the last memory we have of him at SW19.

Such a damn shame, I guess with his injury there was no way he could continue.

Have a happy retirement champ.

 

[vive le beau jeu !]

please don't end your career at this exo... play at least a last real tournament at basel, if possible!
fedr will be missed...

 

[ultimathule]

Long live the king.

 

[mike danny]

Still crying, though.

There were always going to be tears

 

[Azure]

End of an era.

What a beautiful write-up.

He is a part of everyone's life in the last 24 years. Amazing! Will be missed.

 

[citybert]

Wow and we never got a US Open Rafa/Roger.

What is status for Laver Cup

 

[Znak]

NOooooooOoOOoOooO

 

[weakera]

Damn, that sucks

 

[sportsfan1]

Well written and classy message

 

[initialize]

Damn. This must have been what it felt like for basketball to lose Jordan or hockey to lose Gretzky.


We'll miss you GOAT. Tennis won't ever, ever be the same without you

 

[prosperned]

It won’t ever be the same. In tears

 

[AnOctorokForDinner]

So Grasscourterer's story began with a bagel and ended with a bagel. What it tells us?

 

[dadadas]

We are fortunate to have watched Federer play for more than 2 decades. Thank you and i wish you all the best for your post tennis life.

 

[dr325i]

The other two should follow and leave it to the youngsters

RF is a living legend

 

[TheAssassin]

The best, classiest rival one could wish for. Happy retirement Maestro.

 

[aman92]

Thank you Maestro...
I am sitting here in office as a Rafa fan in India and still my eyes got wet hearing the announcement.

You'll leave a legacy which will never be matched champ!

 

[Bartelby]

King Roger the First of Tennis will reign in London next week, not that impostor!

 

[FrankyRelax]

What a classy dude. Cheers Roger!

 

[Im(moral) Winner]

So Grasscourterer's story began with a bagel and ended with a bagel. What it tells us?

 

[Djokodal Fan]

The larger than life tennis icon and his amazing brand of tennis will be missed for sure. Amazing champ he was!!

 

[MiamiWeekendWarrior]

RIP



(Retire In Peace)

 

[Martin J]

Everything comes to an end eventually. His magic will be missed.

 

[D.Nalby12]

So sad the great career is ending in this way. He should have played at least one more retirement event if not season. But I guess his body is done. Thanks Roger - you gave us a lot of special moments. And there will never be another Roger Federer in terms of playing style, complete skill set and shotmaking talent that he had. He will be remembered more for his playing style than his records.

 

[Krish872007]

Thanks for everything Roger, it has been an incredible journey!
Remarkable 20+ years of tennis and emotions, and the engineer / founder of the Golden Era we all had the privilege to witness in the 2000s and 2010s. Unique player, great shotmaker - certainly someone who captured the attention and hearts of many around the world

Wish all the very best in the next phase of life - understand this is the toughest decision possible, to call time on what has been a fantastic career. A travesty that it has to end this way as I'm sure he and all his fans would have wanted it to be on his terms, playing another proper match / tournament

 

[Kralingen]

please don't end your career at this exo... play at least a last real tournament at basel, if possible!
fedr will be missed...

Think his knee must truly be done, sadly.. I hate that his body is letting him down.

 

[beltsman]

Tears

 

[Pablo1989]

I didn't expect it. I still had hope.

What a sad day for tennis lovers.
