25 years of brilliance!
I have enjoyed watching him - rarely a sign of the temper on court, and he has been positive and encouraging to younger players too.
I hope he enjoys his retirement.

Seconded

Yes, many thanks from me too.

I'm sure he will not be leaving the tennis world altogether and we'll see more of him supporting the future of tennis.

Loved watching him play, it was only fitting that his final match was alongside Rafa, as opponents they played some of the greatest tennis matches of all time.

Indeed - he seems a great guy - none of the histrionics - just a gentleman.

100% did you watch the match last night? We were out, so must watch it on catch up today.

He'll be missed definitely although my favourite is Rafa so it was great to see that his last match was with him.

I shall miss Roger, he was always wonderful to watch and such a nice man.

I'll miss him too. Brilliant to see him play alongside Rafa last night and also good to see Roger continuing to support Team Europe this afternoon!
