Stefanos Tsitsipas bowed deeply to Roger Federer, after the announcement of the end of the career of the great Swiss.

The Greek tennis player revealed how much his game has been influenced by the legendary tennis player and said goodbye to him in a lengthy post.

He came. Saw. He conquered. We were amazed.

Thank you Roger Federer for advancing our sport beyond measure. You made the sport look so seamless, yet so complicated. Your style, your personality, your talent, your finesse and your passion will never be forgotten in tennis.

I can’t thank you enough for being the reason I started playing tennis. The reason I’m backhanding with one hand today. The reason I first dreamed, watching you lift Wimbledon in 2004.

To make someone your fan is not enough to beat them, but to beat them with level and style. These can be in the dictionary because of you.

Proud and honored to be by your side in the “last dance”, Stefanos Tsitsipas, who will be teammates with Federer in this year’s Laver Cup, wrote on social media.
