“I went to see Federer and said, ‘Roger, it would mean everything to me if I could have one of your racquets. I have followed you everywhere since the age of 3, nothing would make me happier than having one of your last racquets to frame in my house, sharing this moment with you would be extremely special for me. I hope you don’t mind giving me that piece of your identity’. Luckily for me, Roger accepted. He was my idol throughout my growth, throughout my childhood, not to learn something from this last meeting would have been a mistake, something that I would have regretted all my life. He has always been very nice to me, I sleep with this racket from time to time”said Tsitsipas.
