farewell
Thank you very much for the company and for following our words at this time that is the history of tennis and world sport. Greetings and until next time!
With the beautiful image of Roger Federer embracing his wife, Mirka, we close this direct. There was uncertainty about the result during the game and a lot of emotion at the end. However, it is a moment that already occupies its place in the history of tennis. He will do other things related to tennis, but we will miss the Swiss on the court and with the racket in his hand,
What image! The two great rivals and great friends cannot stand it and cry in unison. Nadal tries to clap along with the song to distract his emotions. Surely it will be a moment that both of you will remember fondly and with many smiles when you remember it in the future.
The tournament dedicates a musical performance to the Swiss, who now breaks down crying on the European bench sitting next to Nadal.
Thanks to his wife and family and to his parents.
There are tears in Federer’s eyes, but also in Rafa Nadal’s.
It’s also hard for Roger to talk about his family without succumbing to his emotions.
It is costing the Swiss a world not to burst into tears.

The Swiss, who tried not to succumb to his emotions, was moved, but in the end he couldn’t resist the words of his teammates and the applause of the London public.
The Swiss hugs his teammates on the bench.
