On Thursday, Federer announced on social media that due to the serious impact of injuries, the Swiss king decided to end his brilliant career after the end of the Laver Cup.
Murray and Federer have confirmed that they will play together with two other members of the "Big Four" on September 23-25, Rafa Nadal and Novak Djokovic (Novak Djokovic) on the same team for the first time on September 23-25, and they will represent the European team against the world team, which will be the last time the Big Four will join in the official match.
Use the reunion of the four giants to bid farewell to Federer. I believe that fans who like the four giants must sincerely thank the organizers for their meaningful creativity.
"Maybe I have the chance to share the field with him in doubles or similar ways, which is really special," Murray and British national teammate Joe Salisbury just lost the decisive doubles match at the Davis Cup on Friday, and the British team lost the chance to reach the finals.

Murray lost to Federer in the 2012 Wimbledon Open final, but soon succeeded in revenge on the same field. He defeated Federer in the Olympic men's singles tennis final to win the Olympic gold medal. In addition, the two also participated in the finals of the Australian Open and the US Open .
Murray added: "I'm lucky to compete with him in some of the biggest competitions, in the biggest championships, on the biggest stage of our sport." Murray's last match against Federer was in 2015.
"I may not have admired him so much at the time, but in retrospect, he was very amazing... It was a sad and sad day for this sport."
Age and injury were natural enemies of competitive sports. When Federer had to leave the professional tennis world, he said affectionately:
"When I started my love for tennis, I was still an caddy in my hometown Basel . I used to look at the players with a surprise mood, they were like giants to me. I began to have dreams, my dreams made me work harder, and I began to believe in myself. Success brought me confidence, I embarked on the most amazing journey to today. "
" So, I want to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart and everyone in the world who helped a young Swiss caddie realize his dream. "
" Finally, to tennis: I love you, I will never leave you."
Big Four
Although Federer became the first player among the four giants to leave the professional tennis world, fans do not need to be sad. From his affectionate farewell statement, it can be seen that even after retirement, Federer will not leave the tennis he always loves, and fans can continue to see him in the tennis world.
Federer's departure represents the greatest era of men's tennis is gradually moving away from us.
