Roger Federer has decided to retire from tennis and his final competition will be the Laver Cup (next weekend at the O2 Arena in London). Some of his great rivals found it difficult to describe the Swiss in one word.
How would you describe Roger Federer in one word?
If Rafael Nadal said of his opponent that he is simply “fantastic”, then Novak Djokovic said “respect” when it came to Roger Federer.
Diego Schwartzman was the only one who didn’t fit the mold, needing two words to describe the great Swiss champion: “unreal”.
Rafael Nadal: Fantasy
Novak Djokovic: Sincerely
Grigor Dimitrov: Genius
Dominic Thiem: Magic
Denis Shapovalov: Idol
Diego Schwartzman: Unreal (It’s Unreal)
Marin Cilic: Elegant
David Goffen: Legend
