Federer: Twelve Final Days

A film crew follow the best player that ever lived - I will countenance no arguments - through from his public announcement that he is retiring to his final match in the Laver Cup in London with all his friends and contemporaries.

Certainly this is a very detailed look at Federer's last dozen days which evidently does not sit easily with the openly very emotional man. Clearly he is adored by family, friends and his partners in tennis with Djokovic, Murray and Nadal having much to say. On the downside, I will admit that I wasn't so keen on the, inevitable I guess, back slapping at press conferences and alike which seemed to stretch on for far too long to make the point. This was compensated for though by the last 20 minutes or so at his final match which was really very touching. It was sad that he seemed to believe his life was in some ways coming to an end - although I feel sure that his legend with continue to grow with the next part of his life.
