You re the only player that I cry for when you lose - Chris Evert to Roger Federer ahead of his last match at 2022 Laver Cup

By Parag Jain Modified 22 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Chris Evert was all praise for Roger Federer. Chris Evert was all praise for Roger Federer, with the Swiss maestro set to bid adieu to the sport at the Laver Cup this month. Federer is set to feature in a doubles match at the Laver Cup on Friday, which is set to be the final match of his career. The legendary figure announced his decision a few days ago and cited his long-term knee condition as the reason for it. Having enjoyed over two decades at the top of the tennis world, he is considered, by many, the best player ever for his on-court elegance and off-court grace. This was why experts and fans immediately started posting emotional messages for the Swiss champion. The latest to join the rest in congratulating him is 18-time Grand Slam winner Evert. The American shared a heartfelt message for Federer, thanking him for always being a gentleman. "Hi Roger. It's Chrissy. I think I've derided doing this video for a long time because it means you're going to retire. But I just wanted you to know I appreciate how nice you were to my boys in their early years when you always came out of the locker room to say 'Hi' to them. And I just wanted you to know that along with the beauty of your game, what impressed me the most is that you were such a great sport, both on and off the court, win or lose, you were just so gracious and a gentleman," she said. She also stated that the 20-time Grand Slam champion had always been her favorite player and that he was the only one for whom Evert cried whenever he lost a match. "But you know you're my favorite player, you've always been my favorite player and you know you're the only player that I cry for when you lose. So those two things are important to me. Anyway, good luck to you and be happy," she added. ATP Tour@atptourA message from @ChrissieEvert to her favourite tennis player ?
