Well...we knew it wasn't far off but it still is a bit sad! Two legends of the game (Fed and Serena) stepping away at roughly the same time. Both made the sport more fun to watch and I will miss watching both!
This is a sad day. I started watching tennis basically right when Federer was emerging. I was hoping he'd play one more Wimbledon.
Love this tweet...the sports world needs more of this...compete against your rival as hard as you can...then respect:
Man what a tough day, but also a happy one. Federer is my favorite and may be the most responsible for growing the game of tennis on a global level. He really paved the way for how much money these players get now. His philanthropic work off the court is even more legendary.
Guy will be missed but he deserved to call it a career and enjoy what’s next. Losing Rafa in a few years will be tough as well. These guys (Novak a bit too) and Serena really did some amazing things.

Federer retiring is sad, understandable but sad. He always seemed to be a model of class and sportsmanship.
Man that was brutal but just as well watching the end of Federer’s match and the reactions by everyone there. Again he may not have the most slams at the end, but to me he is the GOAT because along with the 20 slams came the fact he single-handily changed tennis on a global level. Watching Rafa tear up was almost harder than watching Rafa.
And kudos to Murray and Djokovic the entire time this week there and yesterday. Novak and Roger really came a long way from where they were relationship wise in the earlier parts of Novak’s career.
Damn that was all harder than I ever thought it would be.
