I would like to thank my loyal sponsors who are really like partners to me - Roger Federer during his retirement speech

Roger Federer plays a backhand against Hubert Hurkacz at Wimbledon 2021 In his retirement speech last week, Federer thanked the "loyal sponsors" who have been with him throughout his career. "I would like to thank my loyal sponsors, who are really like partners to me, and the hard-working teams and tournaments of the ATP Tour, who have always welcomed us all with kindness and hospitality," he said. Federer thanked his fellow competitors for "epic matches" he will never forget. "I also want to thank my competitors on the pitch. I was lucky enough to play so many epic matches that I will never forget. We fought fairly, with passion and intensity, and I always tried to do my best to respect the history of the game. I am very grateful for that. We pushed each other and together we took tennis to a new level," said the Swiss. He then harkened back to his childhood, reminiscing about being a ball kid and watching players with a "sense of wonder." "When my love for tennis began, I was a ball kid in my hometown of Basel. I watched the players with a sense of wonder. They were like giants to me and I started dreaming. My dreams made me work harder and start believing in myself," he added.
