It’s funny to think of it like that because we were both young and made it on tour and we never thought we were going to end with that at the end.”

“I think we are definitely the bridge, you know, for a very long time, from the older generation to the new generation, which I think has been a privilege for me, to play across generations like this, Same for her. She brought the power game in like no other and she’s obviously been so instrumental with that,” Federer added further.
