The same shit happened with Federer and his knee.

It’s depressing when these titans of sports can’t walk away on their own terms.

This man never took a single point off.

He would run for days and never get tired.

112-4 career record at Roland Garros.

One of the craziest stats in sports history.

The other two shared their appreciation.

Fed also throwing in a bunch of pics on his IG story remembering their time together.

French tennis player couldn’t possibly pick a worse day to also retire.

TOUGH to hang em' up and then get upstaged by Rafa a few hours later.
