Footballers from across the globe have paid tribute to legendary tennis player Roger Federer after he announced his retirement.
Federer brought his illustrious tennis career to a close on Friday and some of the biggest names in football have paid tribute to the Swiss superstar.
The 41-year-old retires having won a whopping 20 Grand Slam titles, a feat only bettered by Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal – the latter of whom Federer paired up with for his final ever match in the Laver Cup.
Federer has been linked with a move into football in the past, with FC Basel – his childhood team – said to have offered him the club presidency. Whether he takes up a role like this in the future remains to be seen.
