The Swiss icon received a plethora of heartfelt messages from his fans and fellow tennis stars who congratulated him on a glorious career. Federer has made it clear that he has no plans of ‘unretiring’ like Serena Williams has hinted recently.

Federer will now be teaming up with all-time greats like Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Andy Murray as they take on Team World at the Laver Cup. It would be pretty iconic if fans could see Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer team up and play doubles at the tournament, it would be a fitting end to Federer’s fantastic career.

The Swiss maestro last played in the Laver Cup in 2019, when he helped Team Europe win their 3rd consecutive Laver Cup title. Federer won both of his singles matches in 2019 as he powered his team through to the title.
