- Footage from September 23, 2022. Shot on iPhone 13 Pro.
Just hearing now that the full footage of the farewell was not broadcasted. Sharing what I have from my phone, this was meant for my own memories and not taken professionally, so apologies for the shaky hands and occasional dips as I was trying to watch them not through my phone screen while still wanting to record the moment.
Congratulations Roger on a brilliant career. Thank you for letting us come along for the ride ♥️ - Hudba
Truly heartwarming how Rafa clearly was as emotional as Roger but didn't want to take any inch of the spotlight from him. He cried in the background and tried to stay as far away from the cameras, he even moved his tennis bag to the team bench so Roger could sit on the player's bench by himself and soak up the atmosphere one last time. He accompanied Roger throughout the most difficult day of his life, from his last practice, his last presser, his last preparation, his last walk on and off court, wordlessly sharing the burden but never stood in his way. He's truly an incredible example of sportsmanship, loyalty, and friendship!
Not only did he do all that… he ONLY came to the tournament at all for Roger
@@joosiej85 yeah, went straight back home the morning after. The attitudes these two have towards each other is really admirable
Beautifully put. 👏
I noticed all those things about Rafa as well. That's the definition of a true friend.
@Fed1999 well said, just my thinking. Thank you 💞🙏🏼
How precious it is to watch Robert Federer asking his son "where's Rafa?" 35:23-35:25 and proceed to hug him 😭😭
Also, how intense Mirka hugs him as well at 27:38. It really shows that although Rafa is Roger‘s biggest rival, basically the one who is responsible for Federer not having multiple calendar grand slams and way more than one FO title, he is loved by every member of the Federer family, and that for a very good reason! Great to see this footage and surprisingly it hasn‘t been shown by other media so far afaik…
@@cineastik8220 Rafa and Roger are basically the other half of each other's life (tennis wise). Rafa never experience tennis professionally without Roger in the scene. Roger will never be one of the greats without initial challenge by Rafa. They (including each other's family and team) are so used to see each other around it will be very hard for Rafa not to see Roger ever again playing in the circuit with him. That's why probably he also looked really emotional because it really hit him hard that day. Roger's family know how important Rafa is to Roger thus they grow really close over the years
The hug of Roger's wife to Rafa...very emotional and sincere
She also felt up all his muscles on his back n shoulders, which any woman would, given a chance. Sincere? yes but may also have liked the muscles part :p
Thank you for this footage. It really can't be overstated how special this whole night was and just how special the friendship is between these two warriors. Even those of us who have always been 'Fedal' fans were taken aback at the depth of emotion on display. And then when you add that Rafa's family came to send off Roger also, and Roger's family equally caring for Rafa and I daresay this is a lifetime bond between them all. Truly beautiful to see.
Yes. Most people there didn't realize how deep their relationship are until they witnessed it themselves.
I particularly didn't expect to see Rafa bawling like that.
22:00 is the iconic moment Roger grabs Rafa's hand... love this
Can we talk about how Rafa was the only one who hugged rogers kids? Uncle rafa 🥺
This footage is GOLD!!! Please Save it preciously! Cause you show the other side of the profesional cameras, ie the real emotion behind the scene.
Completely blown away by the emotion Rafa showed as well !! He is equally a hero and always will be as well !! I hope he invites Roger to his farewell as well !!!
Roger and Rafa is something else
Glad I was here to witness this in real life. Although he didn’t win, I’ll never forget this day. Thank you, Roger.
@ Musha I really wanted them to win. I cried when the tournament was over. I so really wanted that last win with the 4of them together. Roger, Andy, Nole and Rafa. Would have been great but that's like. Lol.
Thank you so much for sharing from this angle. Really thank you!
Thanks for capturing this precious moment!
They walk together like they are glued to one another. Beautiful, they wrote history together, no tennisfan will ever forget!! Would love to see all their battles lined up to watch them for days!
Thank you sooooo much for filming this! It was the last thing I wanted to do in the year 2022....hours before midnight on 31st Dec...watch Federer retirement match. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!
Thank you for this footage. Tennis Channel decided to cut away from live footage and go to commentators in studio for some dumb reason -- as if those of us tuning in wanted to hear from Navratilova and Opelka in this moment instead of watching Roger and the rest. So I finally got to see what I missed from their coverage. I ate up every second -- thank you bunches!!!!!!
I really love seeing the raw emotions of all the players, especially those who didn't really have a good rep before. Anyone who cries like this is not a bad person, just have moments of frustration and don't know to deal with it. I will be rooting for them from now on.
An icon, a sports hero, a superstar, humanity, humbleness on another level always !! How could you do this to us, Roger.....forever loved and the best ever, dont care about the most grand slams won !!! You are the very, very best of all !!
I have been looking for a video like this since the match. This man and his tennis have meant a lot to me. Thank you for posting this.
Thank you for sharing it with us !
You captured the heart of what they put out. Thank you
rafa and roger's kiddies
They're such a shining example of humanity. They will leave a void in our lives like no other. Thank you Rafa and Roger for all the excitement,pleasure and thrills you gave us over the years.You will never be forgotten for the great talent and tennis genius that the two of you gave us and for your beautiful bond in an extremely competitive sport..
Our love for you will always remain .. Thank you so much for such lovely memories
The day even the gods cried
Thank you very much for capturing these moments!
Thank you so much for posting and giving us a courtside view to one of the most emotional moments in tennis history for fans and non-fans. Rogers ability to connect with fans, press and his fellow players/rivals is unmatched and seeing the players (Tsitsipas, Novak, Nadal of course and commentators on TV) getting emotional was incredible. Rafa, you are the most ferocious of competitors with a massive heart and the Fedal rivalry/friendhip is one for the ages and something I have never see in sport. Thank you Roger and Rafa. Thank you Susie for posting!
Thank you so much for sharing it with us!! Most beautiful and sad moment in any sports event I ever witnessed
This is gold! Huge inspiration ❤ Thanks a lot!
Thank you so much for sharing this. I was there that night but didn't see the end part. Wonderful!
thank you so much for this! i was not able to watch this until now because i was too emotional ... this is just amazing! from the bottom of my heart really thank YOU!
Thank you so much for filming and uploading this. Lucky to be there live to witness the retirement of the greatest athlete on the planet.
Thank you so much for this beautiful footage❤
Just the perfect perspective I need 🤧🤧🤧 thanks for capturing them all and sharing ❤❤❤
Thank you for posting this - I had to run out while this was live and missed it. It was really nice to finally see it like this.
sooo grateful for sharing this!meant sooo much!huge thanks😘😘😘
11:31 - 11:48 when Rafa's part came up at the big screen Roger can't even watch it 😢
Omg Thank you for this video! It was just perfection 🥺🥺❤️❤️
Thanks so much for posting this - loved seeing more context on how the whole hand-holding thing went down. It was awesome!
What an amazing night it was!!! Thank you for the great quality video, unbelievable career and outstanding sportsmanship between him and Nadal, I will forever be grateful to have lived in Fedal’s era and literally watched all their head to head matches… thank you RF and RN for all the memories 😭😘 God bless this friendship! ❤
Thank you so much for this footage. Atmosphere must have been very intense. Such a gorgeous send off for the king.
Edit: Wow, THAT moment really was fleeting, wasn't it. Very touching (no pun intended).
Even Novak consoling Roger. but Roger quietly sort of thanking Rafa for being there was truly touching. I felt Roger told Rafa to sit next to him. Rafa was always in the background till then..
@@TheAnuc Think you might be right -- looks like he gestures to him to sit down? And yes, Djoker showing some nice sensitivity there, plus rounding up the rest of the guys to do the throne celebration. Djoker and Rafa were very good to Fed on his last day.
So awesome to watch and share - amazing how so many around the world were captured by his tennis career and the rivalries that carried on for decades building the next match into an even greater event - absolutely magical and so uplifting to witness - wow, we all certainly were BLESSED beyond measure by this one persons journey through his life.....
Thank you for uploading this wonderful video.
Thank you for this footage

Amazing competitors and friends . A real frienship.between the 2 goats. So admirable and adorable sportsmen . Feel.sad like rafa for the retirement of roger. God bless them.

Random but the little hug between Andy and Frances at 34:07 is so sweet.
Thinking that I can never see Roger play again...I miss him already!😭
Thank you thank you thank you!!!

almost 3am and I'm in bed crying like I did that day. love fedal. want to know what's the mystery in sharing an R, an F and the same vocal (a or e) on each surname... it's divine. fedal in aeternum. love and friendship in aeternum.
Thank you for this video
Thanks!!!
So hard to say goodbye to someone you love and who gave you his all 💞🙏🏼
Wow! Thanks for this video. It's incredible. You never lost focus off Roger Federer. Amazing Raw footage, better than the professional one. You are a true fan! :)
Roger I’m 82 yrs old I live in Cape Town South Africa I’ve been watching when you were a junior , have made us so happy , you are a legion in and that famous pony tail
tennis will not be the same without you this is a proven fact this year when you did not make it this year , we actually were watching semi finals and finals , I’m going to miss you terrible . I’m going to miss you on the court . Thank you for all you have done for the game of tennis . God Bless 😪🥲😥😓😰
❤
We miss Roger already! 😭
Tellement émouvant. Incroyable d'être sur place. J'aurais tant aimé y être. Je n'aurais pas pu retenir mes larmes.
I just love him
Can't thank you enough 😭💝 Will always cherish these moments 🙌🥺
thanks man
Novak completely broke down when the kids came 💔
Never cried this much and I am a male who totally watches the tennis circuit !!!
Where do we go next, please a new generation that we can hook on to ???
U gran corazón merece todo bendiciones

Felicidades a tus padres por tener un gran hijo de tan buen corazón bendiciones gracias
Ever living Roger Federer ❤ ❤ 😢 🙏🙏🙏
He definitely did rule the world for a long time
El deporte es de mucho esfuerzo y todos merecen mis respeto gracias bendiciones
Very proud of you who are deeply grateful hearted and humble, Roger Federer.
Even you are the sport icon:)
Absolutely the best emabassador of the game of tennis. Yes there will be other greats that are coming through the ranks but to have this much admiration from all of his tennis rivals and ppl who just PALING LOVE HIM LIKE I DO (still wear all your gear RF and have been using every one of your rackets as you changed through the years) and will until I can no longer play. 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.
You are the G.O.A.T. in my opinion not because of all the titles because they will always be surpassed at some point but because of WHO YOU ARE AS A PERSON...... you are the BEST
Have a great retirement....you deserve to do some other things now as you have given us and the sport so much joy over the years.
How the hell was such an important moment not broadcasted. I can not find any video of the whole thing other than this. Luckily there is this one at least.
Todos debemos ser así y Dios les salvará y les dará vida eterna bendiciones
god, the picked songs to cry to 😂 - don't know what it is about titanium, viva la vida, now the ellie goulding song and elbow - all tear jerkers, celebratory but emotional songs all in the same breath - i was sobbing in the crowd..
Dios todo lo puede bendiciones
you must have good seats. Did it cost much? thanks for posting!
Terima kasih videonya terbaik
😍👌🎾👏👏👏♥️
U can c from video fed n wife closer 2 murray n nadal thx 4 thatx
21:35....Novak realizes Federer is losing it, and proceeds to confort him.
What is the name of the song starting in background in 3:29?
Titanium
Anyone know the name of the last song played?
Elbow - one day like this
@@gypsyysoul thank you
2:27 didn't realize GigaChad picked up a job at the Laver Cup
Can you write how much you paid for ticket? 😊
I'd say at absolute minimum it was £10,000 but likely more. I was closely watching ticket prices for this event for all days.
@@Anonymous-rj8rg wow, when the tickets came out in april prices were from £ 18
I guess only the wealthy can see Roger :(
5:25 Viva la Vida
Just wondering if it's kinda a no from you for my previous comment🙃? Don't worry, it's all good! but just wanted to know so that I won't need to keep checking back!😶🌫👍
Dios y la virgen les bendigan con amor y paz
17:50, 20:50
he could milk another 1-2 years from his sponsors ... last two years of pro he was earning the most despite winning almost nothing
Ugh. This sucks.
I can never understand nadal’s English. Always bother by his squeezing his facial muscle to talk
