Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer did not enjoy the best possible relationship at the beginning of the career of the Serbian champion. Nevertheless, that is in the past. Now both players seem to be in great terms.

Novak wrote a lovely message on the occasion of Federer’s retirement saying:

“Roger it’s hard to see this day and put into words all that we’ve shared in this sport together. Over a decade of incredible moments and battles to think back on. Your career has set the tone for what it means to achieve excellence and lead with integrity and poise. It’s an honour to know you on and off court, and for many more years to come.

I know that this new chapter will hold amazing things for you, Mirka, the kids, all your loved ones, and Roger fans still have a lot to look forward to. From our family to yours, we wish you much joy, health, and prosperity in the future. Looking forward to celebrating your achievements and seeing you in London. @rogerfederer.”

As a nice touch, Djokovic also chose posted pictures when he lost to the Swiss Maestro in important finals. Lovely.
