Federer has been officially retired for quite a few days. Several friends asked me if I wanted to write something, but I didn’t know what mood to face it. Of course, this is just an excuse. In May, AC Milan regained the Serie A championship after 11 years. It only wrote a title. The middle-aged man's laziness is hopeless and his excitement is no longer so ostentatious.
But let's write a few sentences. After all, Federer should be among the characters outside of Go. The number of articles he wrote is ranked in the top two, which is probably only a little less than his son, right? Since the times have come to an end, we must always leave a little mark.
Feder, born in 1981, is over 41 years old. As a tennis player, he has just retired and has greatly satisfied the expectations of his fans. But we are so cruel, and we always hope that the fighters in our hearts will fight endlessly. This world is cruel. No one will really stand at the center of the stage forever. The stream of light easily throws people away. Isn’t Jordan’s status as “the greatest player in history” also being questioned?
In fact, as early as July last year, Federer lost to Hulkach in the quarterfinals of Wimbledon, and he "actually" retired. In July this year, Federer's ATP points were cleared and disappeared from the world rankings. He set his curtain call on the Laver Cup in the nature of the exhibition match, and only played in doubles, losing with Nadal . When a friend sent me the message about this game, I said, "I'm not decent enough."
Of course, I am by no means saying goodbye to the lack of goodbye, but I do not want him to use the Laver Cup as the finish line. 20 days before Federer retired, Serena Williams, a generation of tennis queen, also retired. Her last game was US Open , and shed tears after losing the third round. This is the way the warriors should say goodbye - they would rather die by fighting. In 1994, the car king Senna broke the Imora track and performed this tragic heroism to the extreme.
Federer did not "death in the battlefield", he chose to "return to his hometown". His "Farewell Game" gathered Big4, and he was the focus of the game. He deserved the cheers and tears of countless people. On November 10, 2001, on the day of the farewell match of Maradona, Uruguay football prince Franciscoli said in an open letter to Diego that it is an honor to have a chance to say goodbye in his life. Now, Federer leaves with such honors. Although it is inevitable that he will be sad, you can't help but say that his tennis career is really close to perfection.
It is said to be "close", because Federer's "best in history" status has at least been suffixed with "one". 2017 and 2018 won two consecutive and 2018. After Wimbledon, Federer's Grand Slam number reached 20, widening the distance from the chasers. If he had chosen to retire at that time, it might have been more of a success. Unexpectedly, Nadal and Djokovic both plundered like chicken blood, and they surpassed each other this year. Federer's records were broken one by one, and they were broken by competitors of his contemporaries. The three giants chased each other and stood at the forefront. This was a rare grand scene in the history of tennis and even sports. However, for Federer, who was one step ahead early, the bitterness was difficult to talk to outsiders, and he had to gracefully praise the two old enemies and show his demeanor.
Yes, Federer has always been synonymous with elegant tennis. He used his outstanding performance to make everyone forget that he was also a hot temper when he first debuted. But what really touched Federer was never his elegance, or even his smile after every victory. It is the most difficult for a hero to be frustrated. In the 2008 Wimbledon final, Federer and Nadal fought fiercely for the third consecutive year. Federer was 0-2 behind and relied on two tiebreakers to tie the score stubbornly. The decisive set was suffocating, and the heavy rain made the pace of the game more difficult to control. In the end, Nadal won 9-7 in the long set and won the Wimbledon Golden Cup for the first time. Federer's five Wimbledon titles were finished, and tears fell down with the rain. At that time, I was alone in a small hotel in a foreign land, and I raised my bottle late at night, and the sound of my dreams shattering.
Eleven years later, in the Wimbledon semi-finals, Federer took revenge on Nadal, but in the final against Dr. In the final, he fought for five sets. He held two serving points with the decisive set, but was defeated 12-13 in the long set. I still watched the football alone late at night, didn’t drink, but just lit cigarettes silently, telling myself to get used to it, life is never perfect. Helplessly, the loneliness in my heart magnified little by little, gradually filling the entire universe, and the hardships of looking up were all the way.
The setbacks of those heroes are the most touching. No matter whether they can make a comeback or not, the frustrated hero is more real. Therefore, liking someone is not just because he was in his prime, but because he is determined in his heart and whether he is willing to face the long journey alone after hitting a wall again and again.
Feder has been persisting for a long time, and he really should give up. Some people have long said that he no longer needs to prove himself with victory and championship. He has a happy life that is rare among top athletes, and he is already an absolute winner in life. However, his tennis era is over, and his former hatred for his two great enemies has also disappeared, and they are equally respectful of them as great fighters.
Jordan retreated and was distracted by NBA; Van Basten and Maradona retreated and no one on the football field was as deep as I could in my heart. What about Federer's tennis scene after he withdrew? What he replaced was actually Lundell's position, who could have time to replace him? We are no longer the boy who can travel thousands of miles for a poem. He can express his promises in three cups, but the five mountains are light. He wakes up from the wine and dreams are broken. The southern country is in full bloom. Long-lasting love can only be long-lasting love. If you can have a journey of company, you should not have any extravagant desires.
In July 2003, Federer defeated Philipsis 3-0 in the Wimbledon final and won the Grand Slam for the first time. He held the golden cup and cried in public, which was a mixed feeling for young people to realize their dreams.
It has been almost twenty years... At that time, the bright moon was there, and the colorful clouds were returned.
