There is emotion in the world of sport after the announcement of Roger Federer and his professional retirement from tennis. And although there is one last performance when he plays the Laver Cup, between the 23rd and 25th of this month, memories of the great moments starring Roger are multiplying across the planet.
One of them occurred on November 20, 2019, when the Swiss came to Argentina to play an exhibition tournament with Alexander Zverev.
The one who took the opportunity to greet him despite not being in the country was Diego Maradona, who recorded an exciting video of admiration and recognition for the Swiss: “You have been, you are and you will be the greatest”.
“Hello teacher, teacher, machine as I call you; you were, you are and you will be the greatest. There is no one else who can show you. I want any problem you have in my country to call me and tell me what you need, “said Diego, looking at the camera.
At the farewell, Maradona greeted the rest of the Swiss family: “I want you to blow a big kiss to your wife and your children”, he closed on the 10th.
The video in which Diego is seen wearing all black sportswear was broadcast live on the screens of the Parque Roca where the tennis exhibition was played that would remain for the German with a double 7-6.
The official page of the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup also echoed the Swiss’s farewell and posted a picture of Federer with Diego Maradona on Twitter.
The post reads “one of the best in the history of the sport. Thanks for the tennis, Roger Federer.”
A post that after a few minutes it already had nearly a thousand likes and was retweeted 125 times.
