More than 24 hours after Swiss tennis legend Roger Federer announced his retirement, his longtime rival Novak Djokovic paid tribute to the first man to win 20 Grand Slam titles. “It’s hard to see this day and put into words all that we’ve shared in this sport together. Over a decade of incredible moments and battles to think back on.” Serbian star wrote in an Instagram post. He added: “Your career has made sense of achieving excellence and leading with integrity and poise.

Djokovic continued: “Your career has made a point of achieving excellence and leading with integrity and poise.

“I know that this new chapter will bring great things to you, Mirka, the kids, all your loved ones, and Roger fans still have a lot to look forward to,” he wrote, before wishing Federer and his family “much joy, health, and prosperity in the future”.

Federer took to social media on Thursday to reveal that the Laver Cup later this month will be his last professional tournament.

Federer won his first Grand Slam in 2003 when he won the Wimbledon championship. Since then, he has won six Australian Open titles, one French Open, eight Wimbledon and five US Open titles.

Only Rafael Nadal, with 22 Grand Slam titles, and Djokovic, with 21, have won more than the Swiss great.

The 41-year-old last played a professional match at Wimbledon last year and has since had to take a break from surgery and recuperation.
