If I can play basketball better than Lebron James, but I never join the league, does that not make me a better basketball player than him. Same with tennis - you have to look at who was the best to swing that racket and that is without a doubt Federer. Even Djokovix says that himself

    Honestly, I wasn't ready for Roger's retirement so I still can’t sink in his leaving. I had been aware for 10 years that Roger's retirement would come soon especially in 2013. But whenever he fell down, he surged back, which made me feel like I was on the cloud nine. So this time , again, part of me was thinking that he would return, at least he would choose Wimbledon as his last destination. So it was out of the blue. I am still missing him play tennis.

I am 65 this last sept 25 and I keep going because of you. Still playing singles against 30-50 year olds and beat them regularily and playing more doubles now.

    Thank you, Roger. You are so humble, so considerate, your character toward people should be copied by all.....not to mention your great family and your outstanding game. So happy you will be staying with the game and we will be able to see your total greatness in other ways, not only by actually playing!
