His Majesty gave up the crown: Federer played his last match and retired from tennis

Federer had a service in the ‘super tie break’ to have said goodbye with a victory, but the most important thing was the tribute to the 41-year-old tennis player and 20 Grand Slam titles, who was moved when the match ended.

Perhaps the farewell was not the dream of Federer and his great friend Nadal, who are known on the circuit by the acronym ‘Fedal’, as they did not say goodbye with victory, but despite not being an official competition, Sock and Tiafoe fought for the victory to place the tie 2-2 in this tournament in which a team from Europe and another from the Rest of the World face each other.

Federer’s tears after the match were joined by those of Nadal, those of the 17,000 spectators who filled the O2 Arena in London and those of all tennis fans, who watch like this Saturday already (the match ended after midnight in London) , a chapter in tennis history closes with the retirement of one of the greatest players to ever wield a racket.
