Tina Tini: You imply that Federer hasn't worked as hard as, and isn't as good as, Djokovic. You need to educate yourself and know the facts before you make such a baseless, stupid comment. Federer didn't get where he is by not working hard. He's hugely talented, hard working, successful, famous to the point that even people who don't follow tennis know who he is - and he's still humble, grounded and immensely likeable. As successful as Djokovic is, the same can't be said of him. He can be incredibly arrogant, nasty (as in when he berates his 'team' in their box when he plays a match that isn't going his way and he's making lots of mistakes!) and his obsession with trying to be as popular as players such as Federer and Nadal is pretty pathetic. He'll never achieve that kind of popularity and no amount of money or fake gestures, such as his celebratory routine at the end of matches that he wins, can buy that.

@@leicestergirl63 You might also want to brush up on your judgemental notes as well. ALL three of them are a generation that will hardly be repeated in the years to come. And for some of us, Djokovic was what Federer or Nadal were for others. He also had to work extra hard to win the respect Federer naturally enjoyed, not to mention constant matches when it feels like no one's on his side. I'm not saying he hadn't made mistakes, but he definitely matured so much and is a great role model to many. So please, be careful on disrespectful comments, seems like you're also seeing only the side of the story you want to.

Spot on Bro! sometimes I used to think that US Open, English & French fans get to be rude towards Novak. But Honesty, they can't all behave this way by coincidence nor out of spite. Roger is a magician that captured the majority of Tennis fans hearts. as for Djokovic, he is one hell of a mental fortress & athleticism... but it's pathetic to see such a champion trying too hard to be liked. it can be forced nor bought for sure.
Wow when he started crying it hit me instantly. Rodger you are the best tennis player EVER! in my opinion.. When you retire I will cry. Your dad is super proud you have made the world proud. Your talent is unbelievable. You got nothing left to prove. G.O.A.T
You just simply can't watch this and forget in a flick of a sec. This one surely touched your heart.
Even tho I don't know him, Federer is like a family member to me, he cries I cry, he laughs I laugh.

His unwavering passion for family, friends, philanthropy, tennis... is deep, admirable and endearing. It's what has defined both he and his game. So appreciative Roger is still enjoying the game we all enjoy watching him play. Humble and amazing man and athlete.

Believe it or not, but Federer threw many tantrums back in the day (like Kygrios), and greatly struggled with his mental problems and his own attitude. He frequently threw his racquet, unable to control his temper on the court, which was mainly responsible for him falling short in the grand slams. He was quite a spoilt brat back then. However, Peter Carter's death, which occurred in 2002, shocked him into maturity, and changed his career as well as the history of tennis forever. As a result of this tragic event, Federer immediately changed his attitude. He then blazed through his opponents without showing any signs of mental fragility, all the way to his first grand slam, which is what we have come to see from him over the years :) If this had not happened, Federer would have likely gone down as an angry prodigy who failed to fulfill his potential, much like Tomic.

I think that it's his sensitivity that makes him so perfect. As a player but also as a human being.
Okay, now I know why he cries at the Australian Open so much. God -- imagine just getting that wound ripped open every time.

Emotional moment, talented interviewer, legendary player. Long life tennis. From a Nole fan.
Roger was never about the stats... Roger was never about the GS's...Roger was never about the money,cars,watches,advertising that have poured down on him...Roger was never about the glory etc etc etc.. Roger just wants to please the whole world on and off the court...they asked Robert [Roger's father] about what gives him the biggest satisfaction of seeing Roger play? And he says quite simply...the effection and love of the crowd everytime Roger plays...how beautiful is that !!!! xxxx
Aww Federer those tears where from the heart! God bless you for that
From Switzerland, but loved by people all around the world!! this man is so humble !!
This is real emotion... We see these athletes as people who don't feel or have real lives... He genuinely cared for his mentor, and feels his passing deeply... Much respect and love for Roger
This is not about Roger crying, it's about the man who didn't live long enough to see his work come to fruition.

Really sweet for Roger to share his vulnerability with the world. It reminds us he’s human.

I saw this personality in him when he met serena Williams. The two were so happy and complimented each other during interviews. Since then I became his fan.
