In Pictures: Roger Federer fondly revisits his career's "final days" spent with Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, his wife Mirka, and others

Roger Federer recently recollected memories from the 2022 Laver Cup where he played the final tennis match of his professional career. He was accompanied by Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and his wife Mirka, among others, during the tournament.

The 2022 Laver Cup ran from September 23-25 and Federer appeared for his farewell match on the first day of the proceedings. He joined forces with Team Europe mate Rafael Nadal for a doubles duel with Team USA's Jack Sock and Frances Tiafoe.

The match ended in anti-climax as the Swiss-Spanish duo lost 4-6, 7-6(2), 11-9 to the Americans setting in motion the tear-stained sendoff at the O2 arena in London.

A documentary titled 'Federer: Twelve Final Days' based on the concluding twelve days of the Swiss' tennis career is set to be released for fans worldwide. It will be available for streaming on Amazon's Prime Video from Thursday (June 20) onwards.

Ahead of the film's release, the 20-time Grand Slam champion took to Instagram and posted a video compiling images from the 2022 Laver Cup. The video features Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray, Casper Ruud, Matteo Berrettini, Cameron Norrie, Stefanos Tsitsipas, John McEnroe, Bjorn Borg, and Severin Luthi. The Swiss' wife Mirka, mother Lynette, and father Robert also appear in the frame.

"Scrolling through my photo library and reminiscing about the Twelve Final Days, it was an unforgettable farewell to professional tennis with all my amazing fans, friends and family in London," the 42-year-old captioned the post.

Laver Cup 2022 - Day Three

In a recent interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Roger Federer promoted his documentary as the tale of ups and downs.

"These are, truly, the last twelve days of my career. Many things happened in those days. The documentary shows the suffering, vulnerability and beauty that exists in an athlete's career," he said (via Punto de Break).

He revealed that the moments depicted in the documentary were initially reserved for his family only.

"Those images, at first, were intended to be private, for my family, but we saw that they were so beautiful that we couldn't keep them just for ourselves. That's why I'm proud to share them with my fans," he added.

Federer began his professional career in the year 1998 and went on to win 111 titles, including 20 Grand Slams in singles and a doubles gold at the Olympics (Beijing). He also spent a staggering 310 weeks as the World No. 1 during his storied journey.
