Felix Auger-Aliassime shared his thoughts on the recent Federer retirement admitting that it was special to see.
Auger-Aliassime saw an emotional farewell at the 2022 Laver Cup when Federer said goodbye to the sport after 24 years by swinging his racket for the last time in a competitive match. He shared his thoughts about it in a talk with ATP recently.
"It was sad in a way to see him go but, on the other hand, it was a celebration of his career. How much he’s impacted the world of sports and just to thank him in the end for everything he did. It’s good to know that he’ll be around. I’m really looking forward to his next chapter."
Auger-Aliassime enjoyed the whole night as he though it was beautifully staged:
"I think they really did an amazing job of creating a great night of tennis – the speeches, the videos, the singing with the families." Felix Auger-Aliassime said.
“It made it a very emotional night. When you see grown guys tearing up, like kids, without control it just proves how much tennis meant to him, how much he’s going to miss it."
