Stefanos Tsitsipas was the latest player to pay tribute to Roger Federer after he announced his retirement and he did it with style.

Stefanos Tsitsipas is a very unique player mostly because of the way he conducts himself off the court as he always showed himself as a deep thinker. Whether it's sharing wisdom or quotes on social media or taking half a minute to respond to a question the Greek player usually shows off his unique persona in one way or another.

He did it once more while paying tribute to Federer but this time it should get the approval of many:

"He came. We saw. He conquered. We admired. Thank you Roger Federer for elevating our sport to an unfathomable extent. For making this sport look so damn effortless, but complicated to emulate at the same time. Your style, personality, talent, finesse, and passion will be remembered in the game of tennis forever!"

He continued:

"I can’t thank you enough for being the reason I pursued tennis in the first place. The reason I play a one-handed backhand today. The reason I dreamt for the first time watching you lift that Wimbledon trophy in 2004. To truly "federize" someone you must not only dominate them, but also dominate them with class and style. And that can be found in the Urban Dictionary thanks to you Roger Federer. Proud and honoured to be part of “The Last Dance” by your side."

Beautiful.
