Roger Federer retires ... 20:59 - Sep 15 with 553 viewsXYZ

One of the all-time greatest sportsmen.

Made it look so easy and hardly broke sweat in possibly the toughest all-round physical sport.

Toughest physical sport? They never have to move more than 5 metres!

Yes he looked like he could play in a blazer and long trousers. I'm no great tennis expert but his one handed backhand was a thing of beauty.

Really? Sprinting 25m, playing a shot, turning, sprinting 25m, playing a shot ...

Knees, ankles major stresses ...

3/4/5 hours games ...

What's tougher?

Rugby (both codes)
Arguably football
Martial arts
Marathon des Sables
Hard rock 100 in Death Valley
Ice hockey?
Gymnastics (is that a sport?)
Boxing

I was being flippant and don’t know how you’d compare tbh. Tennis certainly is extremely demanding. Andy Murray’s ankles are completely shot from it I think, if I remember rightly. And those aren’t injuries that stop him playing, but he’ll end up crippled to some degree.

Federer has been a phenomenal player for sure

A genius, who was always gracious in defeat. No arrogance or self-entitlement which cannot be said of many sport superstars.
