The last performance of his long career gave Roger Federerat the Laver Cup Tennis Celebration in London.
Although Jack Sock and Francis Tiafoe beat Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal 4-6, 7-6 (2), 11-9 for the world team, no one cared, as it was a celebration of the game when the “king” of tennis knew the apotheosis at the crowded O2 Arena.
Together with his greatest rival and good friend Rafa Nadal, Federer delivered some more moments of magic.
The Swiss did not hold back his tears after the end of the match, hugging teammates and rivals. Rafa Nadal, who was also in tears, did not hide his emotions.
Roger Federer retires from tennis after winning a total of 20 Grand Slams and 103 titles. It remained at the top of the world rankings for 310 weeks, 237 consecutive times. He won 1,251 victories and did not give up any of the 1,526 games he played in singles.
