There will be another bigger stage for Roger Federer, the Laver Cup in London next week, but the spontaneous reactions to the upcoming resignation of the Swiss in the social media are already impressive. Because the appreciations came not only from colleagues on the tennis tour, but from several parts of the entertainment industry.
Actor Hugh Jackman, for example, was one of the first to thank Instagram for the many years on the tour. And added in writing: "Love".
A common theme, as it turns out. Because hearts are not saved: from compatriot Stan Wawrinka, with whom Federer won the Davis Cup in 2014. From compatriot Belinda Bencic, with whom Roger Federer was victorious at the Hopman Cup. Juan Martin del Potro, Karen Khachanov but also the Swedish NHL star Henryk Lundqvist commented on Federer's farewell.
Vonn wants to go skiing with Federer
Like Jackman, Sara Foster, the wife of Tommy Haas, prefers to put her affection into words: "Lovvvvveeee youuuuuuuu". plus heart
Haas himself immortalized the #lichtgestalt on Instagram, and also added a "One of a kind" for the non-German-speaking followers. Denis Shapovalov reports with a "Legend" and thanks for everything. John Isner wholeheartedly agrees with this assessment.
With all due sadness, ski ace Lindsey Vonn can see positive things in Roger Federer's resignation: Now we can finally go skiing together. The now 41-year-old skipped this pleasure during his playing days due to the risk of injury.
