Roger Federer played his last professional match on Friday evening in London at the Laver Cup. Roger decided to play that much with his great friend and old-time rival Rafael Nadal. Eventually, they lost to Frances Tiafoe and Jack Sock in 3 sets. Nevertheless, this time it wasn’t the result of the match that mattered, but the enormity of the occasion.
Soon after the match, things became quite emotional, with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal even caught crying together and holding hands. There was a special moment during the on-court interview when Roger acknowledged the support of his lovely wife Mirka over the years. No one seemed to be able to hold tears.
This is the video.
Roger crying during his speech most when talking about his family and especially when explaining what Mirka means to him. She is his rock. More than most people know. pic.twitter.com/op002EAV2S
