To truly Federize someone you must not only dominate then but also dominate then with class and style - Stefanos Tsitsipas best tribute yet to Roger Federer on his retirement

By DEVANG CHAUHAN Modified 16 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Stefanos Tsitsipas paid tribute to Roger Federer following the latter's retirement announcement, World No. 6 Stefanos Tsitsipas took to social media to pay tribute to Roger Federer after the Swiss maestro announced his plans to retire. The 41-year-old revealed on Thursday that the upcoming Laver Cup is the final ATP-level tournament of his illustrious career. Tsitsipas paid tribute to Federer in an Instagram post, saying that the veteran conquered the world while also making the sport look effortless. "He came. We saw. He conquered. We admired. Thank you Roger Federer for elevating our sport to an unfathomable extent. For making this sport look so damn effortless, but complicated to emulate at the same time. Your style, personality, talent, finesse, and passion will be remembered in the game of tennis forever!" wrote Stefanos. The former World No.1 has been missing from action since sustaining a quarterfinal loss at Wimbledon last year. Tsitsipas credited the Swiss as the reason behind his pursuit of tennis. "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. 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," he added. Tsitsipas is set to feature alongside the 20-time Major winner as part of Team Europe at the Laver Cup, something he is looking forward to. "Proud and honoured to be part of “The Last Dance” by your side," he said. View this post on Instagram Instagram Post
