Ritiro Federer, da Nadal agli altri è un coro unanime: “Grazie Roger, è stato un onore”
Il mondo del tennis rende omaggio a Roger Federer, che oggi ha annunciato il ritiro. "Sei stato un'ispirazione".
di Redazione
Appresa la notizia del ritiro, uno dei primi a voler salutare Roger Federer è stato Rafael Nadal, grande rivale di mille battaglie e grande amico. L’ultimo, 24 ore dopo l’annuncio, è Novak Djokovic, l’altro grande avversario del campione svizzero.
Ma è un coro unanime quello che si è levato dai social da parte di colleghi, dai veterani e ai più giovani, tutti a voler omaggiare una leggenda del tennis.
C’è anche chi prova anche a scherzare come Andy Roddick (“credo sia un buon momento per provare a vincere Wimbledon”), chi condivide un ricordo, chi semplicemente condivide un pensiero di ammirazione ringraziando Roger per quel che ha fatto e rappresentato per il tennis.
Ecco alcuni dei pensieri più belli e spontanei.
We will have many more moments to share together in the future, there are still lots of things to do together, we know that.
For now, I truly wish you all the happiness with your wife, Mirka, your kids, your family and enjoy what’s ahead of you. I’ll see you in London @LaverCup— Rafa Nadal (@RafaelNadal) September 15, 2022
💔😢. I LOVE YOU, Roger. Thank you for everything you’ve done in tennis and with myself. Tennis world will never be the same without you. https://t.co/Wm0IjNqjjx
