Les douze derniers jours de Federer

This is must watch for Federer/tennis fans. The documentry is beautifully carried n heart melting. I was in tears coupe of times while watching. I am huge huge fan of Federer n his classy play, so it touched me to the core. I am sure every fan will be definitely in tears while watching this, especially his retirement speech, even Nadal s tears.

Director has done a great job by bringing other tennis greats of his era, Nadal, Djokovic n Murray.

Considering any sport, Federer is the greatest sports person ever on this planet so far. No one has played their respective game so gracefully as the legend Federer. He is "God of Tennis".

Love Federer.

Like they say, it was not meant for distribution. It's clearly evident. A normal fan knows it all and this documentary shows nothing new. However, bringing Rafa after midpoint is a good move and a refreshment to repeat feel and shots, and matter. It did not show any conflicts, like day 1, 2 or so. Or like someone in Federer team who did not want him to retire or something. But, yes, it didn't happen. So, they had to show what it is. Regardless of shortcomings in the documentary, it was very emotional during the end, seeing Rafa Roger friendship. Roger strikes balance with Novak too. Roger gets a perfect career end. He deserves. And he will always be in tennis, whether he quits or not. His innovative moves, strokes are still read and followed by next gen.

Well, the headline pretty much sums it up.

It was watchable and as a Federer fan since 20 years I was never going to miss this.

However, the editing was not for someone who knows more about the story of those 12 days..

A few things I miss from this:

The big 4 (Roger, Rafa, Andy, Novak) had a doubles practice together before the match. Absolutely nothing about it.. to me a big miss.

Roger and Rafa had a last practice in the morning before. Nothing from that either.

Rafa flew in just to take part of that match and left early morning after. Cam Norrie was there and replaced him (no one knew why he was part of the team until Rafa left). Nothing about that either..

So.. I just think they didn't include some parts that some fans would have enjoyed to see and that was quite sad.

Otherwise it's emotional and interesting but predictable. What I enjoyed the most to see was how much credit Roger gave to Novak. They have not always been on the best terms but it felt like Roger really acknowledged him here and I feel that Novak was extremely grateful for that. It was really nice to see.

All in all ok and basically what you can expect.

As a huge fan for me, tennis is Roger and I am sure there would be many fans who thinks the same For somebody like like Roger who dreamt, eat and Slept tennis. As a fan, I was curious to know how he handled the last few days before his retirement and this documentary lived up to it.

Right from the day he filmed the message till the day he played his last match at laver cup. He handled all the press conferences without getting emotional and with such a great poise and I am sure it would be very difficult for him to hold it till he played his last match where all fans in the arena cried for Roger. Go watch his wonderful and emotional journey of last few days of man who is greatest ever to pick up the tennis racket.

I've never been a fan of tennis, but this little documentary was such a gift! An insight into Roger Federer - a true gentleman. My interest in Roger Federer piqued when I came across his beautiful speech he gave at the commencement ceremony at Dartmouth College. This documentary was profound to watch and I found myself getting teary numerous times while watching it. I was moved by this little documentary about this gem of person I did not know anything about. I think that speaks volumes about the kind of person that Roger Federer is. He is a sweetheart, a genuine person, an empathetic soul and such an elegant person that it's kinda hard to ignore his brilliance. He has a new fan in me!
