Tennis fans discussed the potential impact of Switzerland’s Roger Federer’s retirement news on Spain’s legendary tennis star Rafael Nadal in a surprising loss in the US Open in 2022.
The 42-year-old is regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of men’s tennis in the Open era, having won as many as 20 Grand Slam titles.
To celebrate the greatness of the Swiss legendary tennis star, a documentary is set to be released. It will highlight the last 12 days that led him to announce his retirement. Federer announced his retirement from professional tennis back in 2022 after struggling with form and fitness.
The documentary reportedly revealed that Federer told his close friend and fiercest rival, Nadal, 10 days before eventually announcing that he would quit.
Interestingly, that was the same day the former world number suffered a surprising defeat in the US Open to America’s Frances Tiafoe with a score of 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3.
Roger Federer retired from tennis back in 2022.
Fans on the social media platform X—previously known as Twitter—discussed whether the result was the result of Nadal knowing the development about a friend and a competitor.
"Federer told Nadal he will retire 10 days earlier than the others. He announced his retirement on 15th Sep. He told Nadal on 5th September. Nadal lost to Tiafoe on 5th September. This cannot be real, this news broke Nadal, “one fan wrote. "Wow so Nadal at the time was dealing with both his wife's pregnancy complications and also this news," another fan wrote.
Federer was the first player in the history of men’s tennis in the Open era to win more than 15 Grand Slams and the first player to win 20 or more Grand Slams.
As things stand, he is third in the list of players with the most Grand Slam titles in men’s tennis, only behind Novak Djokovic and Nadal.
