UNCOVERED: It s fine that roger federer didn t go out on his own terms | History Defined

Roger Federer ended his professional career today after playing a doubles match at the Laver Cup alongside his longtime rival, Rafael Nadal. The pair lost 6-4, 6-7, 9-11 to the American team of Jack Sock and Frances Tiafoe. SI’s Jon Wertheim and Chris Almeida reflect on Federer’s retirement, his final match, and his legacy.

Jon Wertheim: We all thought this would end in England, but not in an indoor arena, but probably at a prestigious grass event that he’s won more than anybody else.

Chris Almeida: Also probably with a singles match.
