After Roger Federer announced his decision to retire from competitive tennis at the end of the month, two of his foremost competitors and rivals took to social media to congratulate him on a remarkable career.
Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, the only two players with more Grand Slam championships than Federer, penned touching tributes to the tennis legend after he shared that he would make his final ATP Tour appearance at the Laver Cup in London next week.
“Roger it’s hard to see this day and put into words all that we’ve shared in this sport together,” Djokovic wrote on Instagram Friday.
