Roger Federer bids emotional farewell in doubles defeat alongside Rafael Nadal

Over the course of the past decade and more, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer have thrived regardless of circumstance. They have stared each other down in the finals of the grandest tournaments around the world and they have brought out their best time after time, even when the tension was most suffocating. Their rivalry, with the frenzied popularity it created and the level it exhibited, has played a foundational role in the recent development of men’s tennis.#rogerfederer#rafaelnadal

A legend never dies. Immortality comes with true greatness. Roger encompasses all things great in a special talent. The sport will go on, but it will never see another Roger Federer. Never!

Nadal's tears say so much about their unique relationship, on and off the court, they've been such a joy to watch. We'll never see another Roger Federer, what an icon of tennis and sport in general.

Nadal is the only one crying too. It speaks volume of their special relationship that the other players didn't have.

Showing great respect for his wife, mother - women. Lessons to learn. A blessed life - Roger - You are very special to mankind. Thank you.

What's amazing is if you talk about Nadal or Djokovic, you automatically talk about Federer, vice versa. The big three is the wildest thing to happen in any sport, I'm still in disbelief we got to witness these legends play!

I dont watch much Tennis but when he played i watched and it was always a pleasure. When a player reaches people that are not Fans of the sport usually then you do something right. What a legend of sport generally.

The player is done…the legend has been born
