‘Laver Cup will be the last match of my career!’ These were the words of the Swiss maestro Roger Federer when he announced his retirement through the letter. At 41 years of age, with more than 1500 matches under his racquet, Federer bid goodbye to tennis at the Laver Cup in 2022. With over 2 decades of celebrated career and 20 Grand Slams, the former world no.1 is back again! To make tennis fans relive his days before his farewell. 

The trailer of Federer: Twelve Final Days, a documentary based on the last 12 days of the Swiss tennis ace, before he bid adieu to professional tennis is out! And the glimpse of his finale week is enough to move tennis fans into tears.

Federer chose the Laver Cup to be his final tournament. To step on the court for the last time as a part of Big 3. Play alongside Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic rather than on the opposite sides of the court. Finally to draw the curtains on his lustrous career with a win. And above all, to cherish all the moments with the people who have been a constant in his life; rivals and family, together. 

A beautiful yet heart-breaking ending, goodbyes which no one wanted to bid. However, what we saw on the court was just a fleeting glimpse of the upheaval of emotion that he felt. And the Swiss Maestro is ready to reveal what happened behind the scenes in the last 12 days of September 2022!

We heard Rafa rightly say, ‘It’s painful!’ as they both were seen crying on the same bench. However, we did not see, Federer living through the mountain of memories, that rushed back as he prepared for the last few days on the court. In the trailer, the former World No.1 shares his memories with his support system; his family. He hugs his mother as he lives through his tennis career all at once. While playing with his furry family member, his dog Willow, and lastly the person who has been through his thick and thin, his wife, Mirka. 

Every tennis fan can starkly remember the day when Federer said goodbye to tennis. With tears in his rivals’ eyes, Mirka by his side, and Crown stunned into silence! However, a few months back, Federer said that he didn’t want to revisit his retirement. And here we are!
