Roger is such a humble guy and that just makes him loved by many fans. Once he came to a restaurant where I work - during covid where we all have to show our certificate and ID to be checked in. There was a girl who was checking ID and we were all wearing a mask. She asked him for his ID which he forgot in the car even though he was recognised by many employees due to the fact that he is our regular guests. He actually went back to get his ID and once the girl noticed him she was so embarrassed and apologised many times but Roger was just a man and he acted like one. SO MUCH RESPECT for him!

Roger getting chocked up while talking about asking Rafa to play dubs with him is so amazing. I think I big a reason why fans adore Roger isn’t so much about his records or even his game. It’s the emotions he showed whether he won or lost without pride. He’d cry when he won, he’d cry when he lost without any shame. He was the epitome of a sport that, just like any other, is full of hyper masculinity. Being tough and self assured is the standard. He would be vulnerable in the eyes of millions and not for a minute care about his image as a man. And that endeared him to so many and not once did anyone think less of him as a male athlete. I think every male athlete should look to him as an example of a peRFect competitor.

Very well said! I think one of the reasons his fans love Federer so much is his lack of ego. A lot of his detractors see his surface-level elegance and manners and label him as stuck up; but he's so much more than the impression people first see. I think Federer, for all his class and style, is a genuine person who cares less about how he looks and more about who he is, the difference he can make, what he can achieve and how his actions effect others. He actually has a great sense of humour and isn't afraid to look a little silly at times; he expresses what he feels as he feels it, is diplomatic and polite because he wants to be no because it suits his image, makes an effort to give back to charity and express his gratitude to his fans when no one would blame him for skipping those things so he can spend all his time soaking up his success. All the things we admire about him - the grace, humility, generosity - are not a carefully created persona, but just the biproducts of him being intrinsically who he is - or at least the best version of himself he can be, which is what he always gives to his fans, everyone on the tennis tour, and even his rivals.

I have the feeling those two records will mean more to Federer than any others in his career! Still, he also apparently holds records for most Grand Slam semi-finals (46) and quarter-finals (58). Not bad for a player whose only accolade for the first 5 years of his pro career was 'most talented player to not have a GS' and was already thrilled with his career achievements after winning just one Wimbledon ;P

And for nearly 300 weeks - covering 2004-2009 and most of 2017 - he played a level of tennis no one else has matched.

The story of him not wanting to brag about his records to get into the Wimbledon compound just resonates with me so much. When I was in my 20s I used to work for the son of a Billionaire, and the family had businesses and schools all across the UK. Once we were entering one of their family schools and the receptionist asked politely who we were (in order to get through the entrance) and without a hesitation, my boss said "I'm Michael A*******, my name is on the building". And although it was on the hand, slightly comical, I remember the receptionist was very put off for his brashness. A lit of humbleness goes a long way in life.

He is a marker for what the best in tennis can be.

@@votdfak for those who don't know Roger please do look at his interviews to get a measure of what a fantastic person he is.

Humility...i mean everything Roger says from the word go, is just oozing of this quality. Such simplicity. Enjoying the moment, enjoying the game is another beautiful quality he talks of. Real sportsmen have these qualities i guess, you become larger than life.

This is my first time watching Roger Federer and I realized what exactly i missed out in my life. What a great man. ❤

The Tennis GOAT looks so fresh😂😂and handsome 🥰🥰we really going to miss him😊#fan

@@pdcdesign9632 In real life there is no such objective determination of GOAT in any sport. Who is better than who in a sport that spans well over 100 years is wholly subjective, with no objective way to ever make such a determination. Tennis is especially non-conducive to comparing players over the history of the sport because prior to 1968 professionals were not even allowed to play in the 4 Grand Slam events, which is why players pre-1968 don’t have numerous Slam titles on their resume.

He's basically interviewing his favorite people that somehow have a topical reason to be there, but I agree it's fantastic. Honestly, I hope Netflix convinces him to do an interview show or something like what Letterman did (does? I don't know if it's still going but even if he takes over when Letterman's done)

As a single mother in rural newengland and a lifelong tennis nut, i cant ever thank roger enough for helping me to raise such a wonderful human being b the ultimate exampleof someone so classy yet genuine, and down to earth, so wholesomeI , respectful but a fierce competitor , I taught my son to play- kept it fun and eventually we were driving all over new england to tournaments every weekend. Having roger as a role model( my son was born in 1997) was priceless and he is who he is today in no small part because of the impact of roger in our lives. Driving home from a tournament after a painful loss, i always had a tidbit or story a bout roger to tell him and learn from this exemplary human and athlete. Many people do not know for example that roger,s equanimity is an achievement- as a teen he was crying and throwing his racket with the “ best” of them but he found a way to cope with and learn from failure and disappointment and beyond that to enjoy every aspect of his life, such a truly joyous, happy hardworking and considerate human being and he was in this way so important to us as a role model; an athlete who actually deserved that title unlike many others who are excelling on the field only . Then in 2008 along came Obama the other great public figure who we were so grateful to have in our lives for his grace and humanity but thank you roger for the ecstasy of watching you play that we were so privileged to enjoy for too few years ( never enough!,!)and for your humanity, we owe you so much, cant imagine what our lives, rich as they are, would have been without you.

What you said of your son that he is who he is today in no small part because of the impact of Roger in your lives, that's me too. I'm around your son's age and I can definitely say that Roger Federer raised me almost as much as my closest family members did. The emotion, the humility, the drive to chase your dreams, the gratitude, the kindness, the intelligence, the thinking of others in every situation and then also never losing the childlike joy and the fun in this life, is just a small trickle of lessons we can all learn from this man. For someone growing up during the times of Roger Federer's prime and post-prime years, I can confidently say I could have never had a better celebrity role model to shape and influence my personality throughout my childhood and adolescent years. I love him, I thank him, and I admire him immensely.

Roger you are the MOST loved athlete! And you deserve it all

Roger Federer, the man of quality and skill. Committed sportsman to the game he represents. Forget how many grandslams he got, but his appearance in the court was a inspiration for the spectators . Thank you GOAT.❤🥰🥰🥰🥰

He is by no small measure, at least in my eyes, the Greatest. I watched tennis only because of him and the Williams sisters, and I fell in love with his style of playing, especially that wicked cool backhand. Doesn't matter if he doesn't have the most slams. His impact matters to me more.

I can watch these guys speak for hours...When panel discussions can last for hours why are these interviews too short...Too short to capture even a glimpse of greatness of this man...

I was writing some words, but why repeat what millions think and said about this extraordinary athlete and human being. I am 70 years old and this is the guy I followed religiously during the last 20 years. I can't tell I am the number 1 fan of Roger because there are maybe thousands that are "worse" than me" , but I I will be quite close. Thks Roger and thks to Trevor to show us its greatness in simple words.

Pure class. Somehow forgot to check on him for a long time since his retirement but every appearance is just so well planned and delivered. The guy's a natural.

One of the greatest sportsmen the world has ever seen. This man's class, discipline, grace, competitiveness, humility off the field are all traits young sportsmen need to emulate.

I flew on a Thurday evening from U.S., arrive in London the next morning, went directly to O2, saw Him one playing one more time at Laver Cup and flew back home. I still believe it was dream. You impacted our lives tremendously, I owe you the great college tennis experience of my son and so many wonderful memories watching you practicing and playing in Cincy, every year from 2006. There were times you were practicing early morning, there was nobody else there, I closed my eyes just to listen how you were dancing on the clouds.
