Former World No.1 Andy Roddick is one of many looking forward to "Federer: Twelve Final Days", the latest documentary special of Swiss tennis star Roger Federer. Tennis fans worldwide have been anticipating the new project, which will take a look at the final days of Federer's career.
The 20-time Grand Slam champion retired in 2022, with the Laver Cup being his last professional appearance. After battling with knee injuries that saw him sidelined for some of his last seasons on tour, the former World No.1 decided to hang up his racket at the 02 Arena, which played host to the 2022 edition of the Laver Cup.
Federer teamed with rival Rafael Nadal to take on Team World member's Jack Sock and Francis Tiafoe. Although the duo lost the match, they were cheered on by the likes of Novak Djokovic, Stefanos Tsitsipas and other tennis stars who came to bid farewell to the Swiss tennis legend.
In a recent interview with The Tennis Channel, Roddick was asked whether he had seen the trailer for the upcoming documentary, which chronicles the final days of Federer as he prepared for the Laver Cup. Roddick admitted to not having seen it yet, but was eagerly awaiting the documentary's Netflix release on June 20th, 2024.
"I haven't," replied the 2003 US Open champion. "I have watched some clips and I have seen that this was coming. I am excited to watch it. You know, I have seen Roger behind the scenes and he is as consistent as he is when he is in the public view right. And that's one of my favorite things about him is the respect level.
"He didn't change. You know when he was in the locker room vs when he left. So I am excited to see him share his moment and all that kind of goes into it, in this documentary I can't wait to watch it."

Growing up in a household where soccer was king, my earliest memories are filled with chants from packed stadiums and the rhythm of a ball being passed across neighborhood streets. But somewhere along the way, the quiet elegance and raw emotion of tennis pulled me in. What began as a curiosity became a lifelong passion; not just for the sport itself, but for the stories it tells: of grit, of heartbreak, of improbable comebacks and human resilience.
As a tennis writer, I bring the observational lens of someone who didn’t grow up in the sport, but fell in love with it as an outsider; a perspective that lets me see both its technical beauty and its emotional depth. Over the years working with TennisUpToDate, I’ve had the privilege of reaching more than 3.5 million readers worldwide, with one of my features ranking among the site’s top three articles.
With a background in storytelling and a creative mind always searching for meaning beyond the scoreboard, I aim to craft narratives that go deeper than results and rankings. Whether it’s a rising star breaking through or a veteran fighting off Father Time, I try to capture the heartbeat behind the headlines.

Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
