Tennis star Roger Federer's remarkable play has kept him intriguing people across the entire world. Notably, just as his magnificent presence on the court has always enthralled fans, his most recent documentary, "FEDERER: Twelve Final Days," has caught the attention of tennis fans worldwide. Among a number of comments praising the documentary, one from Rafael Nadal, who is one of Roger Federer's closest friends and fiercest rivals, stands out above all of them.

Rafael Nadal praised Roger Federer for his documentary on his Instagram Story on Friday, sharing a photo of the longtime opponent on the court.

Notably, it is true that Roger Federer bid farewell to tennis in 2022, but not one person in the main stadium stayed stunned. Undoubtedly, when their favourite player retires, fans frequently cry. Rafael Nadal, Federer's strong rival, was the centre of attention, as he was also spotted crying uncontrollably. Later, it was seen that the two had been walking together and talking.

The Swiss maestro and Rafael Nadal were on the same team for the final game of the maestro's career. Even if the fans were incredibly passionate about his more than 24-year career, many of them wish to go back to Nadal and Federer's friendship.

I can’t wait to watch Twelve Final Days: Rafael Nadal

Sharing a picture of himself and the Swiss Maestro, Rafa wrote, “Congratulations Roger my friend. This was a weekend I will never forget. I can’t wait to watch Twelve Final Days.” 

Roger Federer was quick to reshare the story. “Thanks for your support pal. A weekend that we will never forge,” he added. 

"That surprised me a lot. I think when the moment it was all set and done, everybody started to realise how fortunate we still are to actually be playing and competing. And I think this is maybe what Rafa felt," Roger Federer said. I am not sure, I actually never talked to him about it. I never heard him speak about it other than just saying like, I don't know, it was just a hard moment," Roger Federer said.
