One of the most fantastic careers in the world of sport is over and not even the defeat (4-6, 6-7 and 9-11) against the duo Jack Sock and Frances Tiafoe took the shine off the night that was reserved for Roger Federer. The 41 year old Swiss tennis player played the last match of his career on Friday night (in a match that ended at dawn on Saturday) alongside his rival and friend, the Spaniard Rafael Nadal, as a pair.

The 'Fedal' duo started the match well and closed out the first set at 6 points, winning 6-4. The Americans responded quickly, despite the crowd in the stands 'asking' for a Federer win in the farewell and evened the match at one (1-1), forcing it to be decided in a '10-point tie-break'. At this stage, the Jack Sock/Frances Tiafoe duo won the match with a final 11-9, which ended with a 2-1 victory for the Americans.

Roger Federer leaves behind more than 1500 professional matches (1526), where he achieved a total of 1251 victories and 103 titles. The Swiss has appeared in 31 Grand Slam finals (20 titles), lifted 28 Masters 1000 titles and was for 310 weeks No. 1 in the ATP ranking, a level he reached 5 times in his career.
