When Djokovic got emotional & gutted seeing him with his fam.. when Nadal broke down in tears the entire time… omg this has to be one of the biggest if not the greatest moment in tennis history. Keep in mind Nadal had a pregnant wife who's about to give birth and he still made it just for Federer's day cos he knows it's arguably bigger
Another great moment was the 100th anniversary of the Wimbledon Centre Court a few months earlier, where John McEnroe and Sue Barker welcomed top of the winners of Wimbledon by the number of titles they got. 1st the people wh won it once, then 2 times... till 6, and then, no one with 7 (Sampras didn't come), and they said: "oh yes, we got someone with 8 titles, Rogeeeeer Federeeeeer", and he entered under the biggest mass hysteria ever, applauded by the crowd and Edberg, McEnroe, Rod Laver, Nadal, Djoko, Hingis, Hale, Kerber, Billie Jean King, Venus, Kvitova, Evert, Borg..... if u didn't watch the video, it's a MUST.
The best part of this video is Nadal being such a good friend, How happy Federer was to hug Novak and Murray, and the overall kindness and sportsmanship.
Some of those players on the team were born AFTER Roger turned pro. So, they have never known professional tennis without Roger Federer in it. It’s kind of crazy to think about that.
@@tberry79 your right it's better can now see proper battles with players who can do everything, not like Federer with his erratic backhand & average defence, at times he wasn't much more than a big server! Was times in slams where Novak & Nadal beat him like he was a child! Same can't be said of Federer ever beating them that way! Federer is a fraud clocked up 15 slams by 2010 vs absolute bums, Bums the likes of Rafa Novak murray beat with total ease! Then when those 3 hitt 22 he won 5 slams out of the next 44! 3 of them when Novak elbow murray hip rafa knee out injured! People call hom the Goat Omgg pleaseeeee he wasn't even the best player in his own era not even close! We was lucky when seen them play each other and anyone who's honest knows Federer had lots of weaknesses the others had none
Roger is the best technically gifted. Djokovic is the mental beast. Nadal is the warrior who never gives up. All three are the best in their own way and way above everybody else.
Didn’t realize how close Fed and Rafa are. Rafa crying for him. This is beautiful. Tennis will never be the same without the big 3. Fed gone then next to go is Rafa and Joker after.
Courier is the perfect interviewer for this. Never shifts focus to himself when he does his interviews. You almost forgot about him, which is what happens when great interviewers do their job. And what a player he once was, Jim, king of the mountain for a short while, took tennis to a new level with his modern game. I will never forget the RG-final with Agassi, that's when my lifelong love for tennis begun. So many great champions that has come and go since then. And of course, Federer is the most elegant player ever. No one will ever play the game with such a grace as he did. Happy retirement.
there is no other sport where the three undisputed greatest players of all time peaked and grew together, clashing against each other alone in the arena
The Federer retirement came at the worst time for me. Struggling with my beautiful girlfriend, struggling with myself... And then my idol, my lifetime hero, retires. I cried like i've done it before, for him and maybe for all toghether. It was the perfect occasion to let go the emotions... I ll be forever missing him. Thank you mr. Federer, you still are my source of inspiration, and thank you for everything. Grazie mille ❤
If there's one moment that can make me tear up like a small child it's Federer's retirement.. Especially when Ellie started singing "Burn" and he started embracing his family.. I freaking lose it every single time.. I was showing this to a friend of mine and I choked up, he was shocked... Yeah that's how much this man had an impact on me. Forever the greatest ❤️❤️❤️ RF👑
The viva la vida did it for me. I’ve been a sports fan my whole life but I remember the first time I watched a full tennis match was the 2007 Australian Open. It was Fernando Gonzalez vs Tommy Haas. Gonzalez dominated Haas thoroughly and I was thinking to myself, “this guy is something special”. I was a professional poker player who dabbled in sports betting. I remember seeing the odds and this guy named Federer was a 6-1 favorite. I laughed and thought “well he must be pretty good but how is 6-1 possible? How is he going to beat this Gonzalez guy who just made a top 10 player look like a child?”. So I went ahead and put a little bit of money on Gonzalez. Needless to say whatever I lost that day was worth it because for the next 15 years Roger gave me so many memories. In the first couple years my scheduling flexibility allowed me to watch almost all of his matches. After that from about 2009 to 2021 I didn’t miss a single match. Not one. It didn’t matter if it was at 2 AM in Shanghai, 6 AM in Monte Carlo, 9 AM in Rome, noon at Wimbledon, 2 PM in Miami, 5 PM in Indian Wells, 8 PM at the US Open, 10 PM at the Australian Open. I can’t tell you how many birthday parties, how many nights out, how many get togethers with friends, how many events with so many friends I’ve missed to witness Roger play it was all worth it.
Federer will not hold the records in tennis, but he will always be remembered as a loved icon who transcended tennis as a great sportsman and human being. As he said, "It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice..." well put.
I don't know about anybody else,but i like and admire all three of them equally and, when it comes to who is the GOAT,i think that the GOAT of tennis has three heads : Roger,Rafa and Nole...and this comes from a huge Nole fan... :)))
That's a great call! I have always been a Roger fan but I respect all 3 of them and put all of them as the GOATs because there a lot of factors that matter in the head to head matches like the difference in their prime time, the surface and that's why I think these 3 should all be counted as the best ever because I don't see that ever happen again and we should appreciate it as well as we should be happy to watch Rafa and Novak until we can no matter who we are supporting most!
Exactly this. I always found it shortsighted the disdain some stupid fans have for the other 2 legends. People are just dumb by nature unfortunately. I have tried to cherish every moment of these 3 goats. Bc this golden era will never happen again in my lifetime.
game will never be the same without this absolute legend. what a player on and off the court. Will never forget this tennis legend. Seeing the next gen players coming through emotional at his retirement just shows the complete respect they have, they know their sport lost an absolute legend in the game that day. massive respect RF titles and slams aside you were the PEOPLES GOAT!
From my childhood I love to watch Tennis and I understand Tennis because of Roger Federer. All time greatest player of tennis history. Many will come and go but this name will never be forgotten for a lifetime. Miss you Roger ❤❤
The passion that Federer brings to the game. It’s not just another sport. This is the love a legend, athlete that did above and beyond to achieve one of the greatest to play the game! I don’t watch tennis much but this guy here is a legend. Congrats Roger and enjoy your life!
Every time I see Roger's retirement it breaks me, I cry hard. He is the reason why I love tennis, he was my dad's favorite tennis player who has since passed away, that's why when Roger retired it was like I lost my father a little more. but Federer also gave us several beautiful moments together and I will always be grateful for that❤️
Every now and then I come here to cry and smile, because we witnessed one of the greatest careers in tennis history unfold. From his prime, to the hard years with the injuries, to the greatest comebacks on the tour, to his farewell. Not the greatest winner, but the best that tennis has ever seen.
Djokovic and Nadal in tears at their longtime rival's retirement. They truly respect and care about each other despite how much disrespect their fans show for the other 2 legends. Despite being a Novak fan I will always love the other 2 and in my opinion all three of them are GOATs since they all needed each other to achieve the success that they have. I feel truly blessed to be alive during the best era tennis has ever seen and probably will ever see. Let's all celebrate the Big 3. Love you and miss you Roger and I hope Rafa comes back stronger than ever next year so he and Novak can have a few last battles before they join Roger in retirement.
Novak showed up to this after Federer announced his retirement, knowing the focus will be on Federer, even though they weren’t friends Novak cried during the retirement ceremony for his rival Novak gave a beautiful speech about Federer the next day Respect.
I grew up watching Federer and Nadal. Learned from this guys so much. Rafa's body language shows how much they respect each other. It was a pleasure to see this history written by this two!
They pushed each other to greater heights. Its possible that they couldnt have been this great without the rivalry. Its no doubt they must respect each other greatly.
Cried so damn hard watching this, grew up loving tennis and Roger. I took his wins for granted until later in his career. Novak is the GOAT but Federer will foreve be my favorite player
Djokovic is most successful that doesn't necessarily make him the GOAT. In terms of natural ability Federer is the King of Tennis 🎾 He was so much more then just a Tennis player he was an artist with a racquet.
This is THE way one of the best and most inspiring athletes in history ends his career. There is no better way to write it. Thank you Roger for all these great years. We all love you!!!
The moment when Nadal was crying with Roger on that bench will forever remain the most iconic moment in sports history. Two biggest rivals on court but even better friends off it.
Watching Federer's children I just wonder what it's like if your father is a living legend and one of the most loved and revered athletes on the planet. I mean there are obviously many upsides, but it probably also isn't easy to grow up with this kind of an example.
The greatest tennis player ever to grace our sport, he will never be forgotten and will always be missed especially at Wimbledon. Tennis will never be the same without and after Murray Djokovic and nadal have all retired as well.
The emotion is much, can't even know who is. Retiring btw Federer and Nadal, the love is high, the tears is much, He has rule the world. Roger you may not be the highest grandslam winner but the 🐐 of tennis,you change the world of tennis that makes the world to see it as the best sport in the World. Your forehand drives,the backhand Shots, the dropshots,your smile ,the skills,the emotion of sportsmanship will forever be miss. Love u Roger.
I was just crying & crying all the moment. That's the last tennis match I watched till now. After Pete Sampras, I started watching tennis through Rf , those lovely jumping backhands as well as those cursive forehands from the end of the court. No one can deliver those shots like Federer. U will be the GOAT player of tennis always because u not only won the matches but also won the hearts of all the tennis fans across the world.
I'll always love the sport but it will never be the same for me again. My all time favourite sporting hero. Strange thing is that on the day he announced he would be retiring my Golden Retriever of 13 years passed away on the same day.
Der beste Tennisspieler aller Zeiten und vor allem ein großartiger Mensch . Der Tennissport hat seine Ikone verloren und ist seit diesem Tag ein anderer Sport. Er fehlt einfach , sowohl auf als auch neben dem Platz.
A Lord of sport ❤ Spectacular results aside, seeing his peers and life long opponents in tears over his retirement give us the measure of the truly great human Roger is. I wish life treats him with kindness moving forward.
Heartwarming to see both Rafa and Novak cry over their great rival. Cameras focused a lot on Rafa, and Novak held it together much better, but it's not accurate when people say Novak was ice cold this day. Novak cried too, at 21:16 & 21:33 during the ceremony, and again backstage after the ceremony. The backstage scene was not shown in this TV coverage but was shown in Federer's recent documentary about his retirement.
They say its only a sport, but seeing the love & support.. you see that its more then just a sport... It's about people inspiring others due their efforts and sacrifices. I understand... Don't feel the need to explain it... You just feel it. Much ❤️ to my buddy & brothers involved 😘 Roger,... Thank you. I dont use words, instead , i give you a well deserved virtual hug.🫶🏼. Go enjoy! You deserved it.
The GOAT for me because djokovic and nadal came at that time when he already levelled up the game so they coild adopt but he was the creator of modern tennis playing style and aggression
Except someone who is not fan of tennis 🎾 who in this world doesn’t like this guy? The type of game this lèvent produced in his entire career it’s very professional 🥹🥹🥹🥹 he was a therapist, a refined player, and amazing player and unique on his style! Thanks legend
The greatest retirement there is and there will be. To have your greatest rival sitting right beside you, balling his eyes out along with you, that is mad respect.
Forget about the stats of who is the most successful in terms of natural ability and skill and being able to turn Tennis into an art form aswell as a sport Federer is undoubtedly the GOAT.
Tennis is the toughest sports and tennis players are basically solo warriors, so it is not surprising that all the emotions pour out with extreme intensity seen nowhere else.
Losing Federer and Serena to retirement in the span of 3 weeks was something I never wanted to experience. Thank you Roger for everything!
Not having Serema Williams around _ever_ is something worth celebrating, idiot.
😂
Not to mention losing Tsonga and Delpo that same year in the Clay season...
Losing a cheater is ok
@@JDBBB I didn’t mention Tsitsipas 🤔
😂😂😂lmao no one gives a fuck whether she retires or play dude dont bring her into this she nobody’s compared to these guys
I didn’t get choked up until they showed Rafa crying. When your biggest rival has that much respect for you it’s something special.
When Djokovic got emotional & gutted seeing him with his fam.. when Nadal broke down in tears the entire time… omg this has to be one of the biggest if not the greatest moment in tennis history.
Keep in mind Nadal had a pregnant wife who's about to give birth and he still made it just for Federer's day cos he knows it's arguably bigger
NOt even Tennis... In all of sports.
Agree, most beautiful moment in sport history. Agree also that also tennis can bring this kind of respect
Another great moment was the 100th anniversary of the Wimbledon Centre Court a few months earlier, where John McEnroe and Sue Barker welcomed top of the winners of Wimbledon by the number of titles they got. 1st the people wh won it once, then 2 times... till 6, and then, no one with 7 (Sampras didn't come), and they said: "oh yes, we got someone with 8 titles, Rogeeeeer Federeeeeer", and he entered under the biggest mass hysteria ever, applauded by the crowd and Edberg, McEnroe, Rod Laver, Nadal, Djoko, Hingis, Hale, Kerber, Billie Jean King, Venus, Kvitova, Evert, Borg..... if u didn't watch the video, it's a MUST.
But this ceremony is surely the most emotional sport moment ever, easily.
Sporting history
I lost it when he started hugging his daughters saying "Don't cry, I'm not sad. I'm so happy" What a champion! 😭
Federer,Nadal,Lebron,Curry,Messi,Ronaldo
What an era
You can’t miss Novak. I’m a Nadal fan but Novak will end as the best ever. Nadal best on clay ever. But Novak overall is the best
@@Samialexchak Nobody care about Djokovic. He can literally win 30GS, he will never be missed like Federer and Nadal. It is what it is.
@@stuewznadal and federer definitely had the best rivalry for who will be the second best in the world after Djoković, so touching 😂
@@stuewzby the way, why would you miss some mid players so much over the goat?

The best part of this video is Nadal being such a good friend, How happy Federer was to hug Novak and Murray, and the overall kindness and sportsmanship.

I cant believe even after almost a year this still makes me tear up , it's the amount of passion and to see rafa crack up Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesus
Same here, crying at work, wtf....
Whenever I need to cry I come and watch this video
It is impossible not to cry when watching this. This is a game of true sportsmanship. Love the bond Fed and Rafa share ❤

Grazie mille ❤
This gets me in tears and choked up even almost a year later 😢
Same here 😢
That makes 2 of us
Same here, I wish I got a chance to see him play in person 😢😢. There will never be a player like him or Nadal or Djokovic in our lifetime...
@@jammy0985I cried when he choked giving his commencement address at Dartmouth. I miss him dearly on the courts 😢

Absolutely good cry
This is THE way one of the best and most inspiring athletes in history ends his career. There is no better way to write it. Thank you Roger for all these great years. We all love you!!!
2024 and I'm still crying watching this.
I do the same 😂😢
Same here this video is REALLY unbelievable it Gives goosebumps
same i was watching and found tears on my pillow 🥺
The moment when Nadal was crying with Roger on that bench will forever remain the most iconic moment in sports history. Two biggest rivals on court but even better friends off it.

Roger has set benchmark for how to retire from the game. Dream of a farewell a player of his class could ever get. So perfect night.
Lol this is a no crying challenge in the future for sure
Jim Courier has to be the best interviewer there is in Tennis. So much classy and on target words always.
The emotion is much, can't even know who is. Retiring btw Federer and Nadal, the love is high, the tears is much, He has rule the world.

what a legend. federer is the all time greatest tennis player. so sad to see him retire :(
How could someone watch this whole ceremony without any tear and call himself an human being?
I wonder!
It's physically 100% impossible!
THANK YOU! I was there live, so good to see this in full again
I was also there, what a night it was 😢 this video brought all the tears back to me
I was just crying & crying all the moment. That's the last tennis match I watched till now. After Pete Sampras, I started watching tennis through Rf , those lovely jumping backhands as well as those cursive forehands from the end of the court. No one can deliver those shots like Federer. U will be the GOAT player of tennis always because u not only won the matches but also won the hearts of all the tennis fans across the world.
idk why I wanted to watch this again... I can't believe it wasn't even a year ago...
Layani was the only right umpire to have in his last match, the GOAT of umpires
Merci pour toutes ces belles années Roger 💔✊🏾
This still hurts and i wish that never happened😢💔
I'll always love the sport but it will never be the same for me again.
My all time favourite sporting hero.
Strange thing is that on the day he announced he would be retiring my Golden Retriever of 13 years passed away on the same day.

Великий.
Я школу прогуливал 20 лет назад, чтобы посмотреть матчи Федерера
if Federer cry I will cry too 😭😭😭😭❤
It's enough to make a grown man cry.
Watched it all over again and cried all over again... Still falling for you!!!
Thank you Roger for making us dream, thank you for making us believe and thank you for being the absolute best at your craft!! I salute you.......
Greatest player of all time Roger Federer
i never knew man crying can be this beautiful. Thank you, Roger. Adios amigo!

Very emotional time in life . They did their best 💯♥️♥️ Sweet soul Roger 🎾 Especially hearing song Coldplay 😢He sure ruled the world 🌎
He will go down as one of the greatest in the sport history. We love you and respect you as a player.❤❤❤
The family was happy Daddy was going to be around a lot more. Well Done Roger Federer
Tears shows
How much he love the game
Mr perfect
When the big 3 cry we all cry

You might say its a bit soft but Federer is a sincere tennis star. It remains special to watch his retirement in 2022.
What farewell event for the greatest . Cried a little
What a fitting song ‘viva la vida’ - I used to rule the world - such an icon
One and Only. Forever 💖
Family was what broke me.
The greatest retirement there is and there will be. To have your greatest rival sitting right beside you, balling his eyes out along with you, that is mad respect.
all time tennis greatest player 🐐
Roger, you are them, they are you. You are tennis, tennis is you. What a lucky guy to have you, bless your next chapter.
It's almost a year after his retirement but i'm crying as the first time i see this. I never cry but his my idol😭
Forget about the stats of who is the most successful in terms of natural ability and skill and being able to turn Tennis into an art form aswell as a sport Federer is undoubtedly the GOAT.
the king of tennis say goodbay is sad for tenis. Roger your tennis artist will remain in our hearts forever thanks you.
I’m not crying, you are 😢
Roger and Rafa ❤️
Tennis is the toughest sports and tennis players are basically solo warriors, so it is not surprising that all the emotions pour out with extreme intensity seen nowhere else.
The most gracious player on court ever - possibly off court too. A marvel at his best, damn he is missed but... time eh?!
Viva la vida was the perfect song
June 2024 and still crying like a baby. Grande Federer!
GRAZIE ROGER
Roger you did so well! Thank you for everything.
Te amo, Roger.
