In a heartfelt message to his fans, Federer said, “It’s been a wonderful day, I said to the guys I’m not sad, I’m happy. It feels like a celebration to me. It’s exactly what I had hoped for.”
His last performance came in the Laver Cup last year while playing for Team Europe. Federer had a sensational career over the years and dominated the tennis court. He was a force to be reckoned with during his time.
