Federer has retired. Will play the Laver Cup and then he's done
Legend
I know he doesn't end with the most Grand Slams but for me he is the best ever
When his run began in 2003/2004 it brought tennis to another level. He re-wrote what was possible.
I had never seen a guy before him take a neutral point and off of one mid-court ball just erase points. Against pros.
The best ever can be debated. But his artistry and the way he played was beautiful to watch. We also must remember what his fellow pros thought about him when he started to dominate. I mean they couldn't understand how great he was. He was like a cheat code.

Good afternoon mate.
The Federer final v Roddick was amazing (he had a few amazing ones), when Roddick kept looking up to his coach as if to say "what the hell am I supposed to do here".
We've been blessed this era having him, Djok and Rafael.

It's the best match I have ever seen Roddick play.
Imagine not losing your serve through 5+ sets and losing the match.
Incredible effort from Federer.
Roddick was brilliant at the time, he’d blown everyone away before getting to Federer but just couldn’t deal with him.

I remember speaking to a tennis coach once and he said Federer was without question the most technically gifted player of all.
He came along when the big serve and volley guys were boring the life out of everyone.

I can pay no higher compliment, in terms of the sport, the actual doing and the artistry...
Federer is to Tennis, what O'Sullivan is to Snooker. We have been blessed to have been able to enjoy the terrifying heights Roger has brought the game to. I hope SPOTY has some Serena/Roger tribute award type thing. Halcyon talents.
