Roger Federer retires (in 2 weeks)

[somapop]

Yeah, beautiful, enormously talented player.
For me going back to a kid my favourites were Borg, Lendl (yes!( then Federer.
Did have a soft spot for Becker after that win at 17 and watching Nadal is always a joy.
Those two elevated the game for me.

I remember when i first saw him at Wimbledon, knocking out the great Sampras, didn't think he would have been this good. But he was probably the most enjoyable player i've ever seen.

Like others have said, although less grand slams then Nadal and Djokovic, there was a period during his career where he was just untouchable (barring Nadal on clay), and maybe because he was the first of those 3 to have that sort of spell, I consider him to be the greatest ever. Just a class act.

The most elegant player, and the most watchable of recent players.

He deserves his own thread, not to be lumped in with the usual Tennis thread.
