The historic career of the first man to win 20 Grand Slams has come to an end.
Roger Federer ends his 24 years of dominance on the tennis court after he and Rafael Nadal lost in a doubles match to Frances Tiafoe and Jack Sock in a final tiebreaker, 4-6, 7-6 (2), (11-9) at the Laver Cup on Friday in London.
Sock ripped off a massive forehand shot down the line to bring an end to one of the greatest male tennis players in the history of the sport. But as Federer’s renowned career culminates, the 36-year-old was filled with emotion yet a sense of fulfilling gratitude in the moment.
