I applaud you and look forward to all that you do in the future. Welcome to the retirement club. And thank you for being you Roger Federer," she wrote.

Looking forward to watching you Federize a few - Roger Federer responds to Stefanos Tsitsipas tribute

Federer (L) & Tsitsipas in action at the Laver Cup 2019 Stefanos Tsitsipas also took to social media to pay tribute to his inspiration, Roger Federer, on account of his retirement. The Greek tennis star, who is set to feature alongside the 41-year-old at the Laver Cup, revealed that the Swiss was the reason behind him picking up the racquet and choosing a one-handed backhand.

"I can’t thank you enough for being the reason I pursued tennis in the first place. The reason I play a one-handed backhand today. The reason I dreamt for the first time watching you lift that Wimbledon trophy in 2004," he wrote. "To truly "federize" someone you must not only dominate them, but also dominate them with class and style. And that can be found in the Urban Dictionary thanks to you Roger Federer. Proud and honoured to be part of “The Last Dance” by your side," he added. Federer responded to Tstisipas' heartfelt tribute by saying that he wished to see the Greek "Federize" his opponents soon."Thanks pal. Looking forward to watching you Federize a few," Federer wrote. The duo will be in action at the O2 Arena in London for the Laver Cup from September 23-25. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by Sudeshna Banerjee × Feedback Thank You!
