Roger Federer's retirement from professional tennis has been commemorated by clothing manufacturer Uniqlo in a special cap branded with the former player's iconic 'RF' logo.

The limited edition cap is all black and pays tribute to Federer's 20 career Grand Slam titles with the gold-coloured 'RF' logo. Uniqlo, who have sponsored Federer since 2018, announced the launch of the unique item on Twitter.

Federer also took the opportunity to express his gratification with the cap and reacted to his pride over the symbolic 'RF' emblem. But the 41-year-old also shared his heartfelt appreciation towards his fans and their support during his time on the court.
