When Federer's last match was just done, the commentator spoke all of the fans' hearts by saying, "He did not invent the game but at times it felt as if he had." Thank you Roger and Trevor for such an amazing interview! ❤️❤️❤️
I cried, because there went the last gentleman out of the game. Never once seen him throw a tantrum like others. He was by far my favorite player for 2 decades +
Hands down the BEST TENNIS PLAYER. There never was anyone who played the game like Roger did and never will be. Every player aspires to be like him. Grace, beauty and athleticism personified.
This is the first time I've seen Trevor genuinely fangirl over his guest and I loved every minute of it. Amazing men. Everything Trevor said about Roger is absolutely true: class act, humble, true goat.
Trevor really needed to tone it down - a lot! Normally, an excellent interviewer, he allowed his enthusiasm to get away from him to the point of undermining Roger by asking over-long questions, interruptions and needlessly aggrandizing Roger, not just Roger's career, but his character. I found the interview annoying; too much Trevor, not enough Roger.
Try "fanBOY" next time. I KNOW all of the AI man-made, serving-women like Alexa, Siri, Cortana and Sophia etc, etc., etc. have ALL been PURSPOSE-CRAFTED to be "female." But...MEN actually do SOME of the "simp-stuff" in real life, TOO.
I can’t imagine anyone else living up to this man’s grace in the sport of tennis! Regardless of title, he has so many amazing qualities that make it so beloved. Trevor said it, such a great ambassador for human beings!!
I love Roger. Don’t get me wrong. But, he wasn’t always this charming and gracious. I remember a time when he used to yell, curse and smash rackets the way that Novak does. The only one of the top 3 who has always remained a decent, courteous, charming and gracious is Rafa.
@@roxy0608 I love Rafa! Racket smashing is not ok by my standard but the few times Roger has done that or yelled in his career connect me more with Federer as an athlete. He’s not Tsitsitpas, Medvedev, or Kyrgios. Serena smashed her rackets too but I think most spectators love to know athletes emotions to fully convict themselves rather than being overtly reserved
I’m Spanish, and of course…I’m a Rafa’s fan… but I can say, on behalf of all the Spanish people. ROGER WE LOVE YOU. It’s simply impossible not to love you. Not just for your tennis, but also for your human quality. BTW, this is probably the best interview I’ve ever seen. Congrats.
Rafa is also.a.legend and him and Tony are vey kind and humbles.guys. Even if i was a Roger fan, we habe the same age, for me Rafa deserves also to be one of the Goat
As im from Switzerland, and as a Roger Fan. The matches between him and Rafa were always so great. I really like that Tennis had such great Player as Player and Humans.
Fed was the very first athlete I was able to recognize and look up to as a kid. I admired his grace and humbleness both on and off the court. As successful and great as he was (and still is) he has never been disrespectful. He is truly the GOAT
Roger is such a humble guy and that just makes him loved by many fans. Once he came to a restaurant where I work - during covid where we all have to show our certificate and ID to be checked in. There was a girl who was checking ID and we were all wearing a mask. She asked him for his ID which he forgot in the car even though he was recognised by many employees due to the fact that he is our regular guests. He actually went back to get his ID and once the girl noticed him she was so embarrassed and apologised many times but Roger was just a man and he acted like one. SO MUCH RESPECT for him!
Roger has demonstrated on many occasions that a modest or low view of one's own importance; & a healthy dose of humbleness, outshines even the greatest talent and arrogantly superior superstar in any realm. Your quiet & graceful talent has captured our hearts & minds forever. Thank you.
Well put, Mel Hunter. Federer has stayed true to himself and did not try to impress or broadcast his actions or deeds. He has a natural presence and way of reacting and is not always striving to impress.
How often does a 22 mins interview feels like too short! Elegance in everything Roger does and who can be a better interviewer than Trevor. Thank you for a wonderful interview.
They never pushed him he was completely self driven and in his youth when he behaved badly they would not have thought twice about taking him out of the game - they always valued decency over winning - yep he had great parents
I once saw Sampras playing serve volley game, thinking it could not be matched by anyone. A year or so later up comes this young man, playing the most beautifull game of tennis, with wich he has graced us all in astonishement, jaw dropping style of play. Federer the GOAT of tennis!!!
I've had the great fortune of meeting Roger Federer twice and I can tell you he's every bit as genuine, humble and affable when conversing with a single stranger as he is on camera with millions watching - he's real. And for nearly 300 weeks - covering 2004-2009 and most of 2017 - he played a level of tennis no one else has matched. Rafa and Novak are breaking his records in their way - and it is great to see how happy Roger is for them (as we all should be) - but even they will tell you: Federer's peak tennis was like no one else.
@@keithwatson7434 Funny: there's always one anti-Federer person who cannot just accept the fact that Federer will always be more popular, better appreciated and highly regarded than he'd like. The rest of us - who are actual tennis fans - can appreciate him while appreciating the others. You're pathetic.
That story of him going to Wimbledon had me rolling on the floor 🤣🤣🤣 “please I won this tournament 8 times 🥺” 🤣🤣🤣 Not only do I enjoy seeing him play on courts, but I always love listening to him talk during interviews! Classy and down to earth, as usual!! ❤ Also, I can’t believe it’s the end of an era for Roger and tennis AND also for Trevor and the daily show! That’s the best wrap up interview we could ever have!! 👏🏻
Classiest athlete ever and there will never be another Roger Federer in tennis. If he was on you had to watch, because he made the sport both incredibly athletic and beautiful at the same time. He's beloved because of his humility and self-awareness.
I was lucky enough to be at the Laver Cup for that last match playing doubles with Nadal. I flew 8,000 miles to London just for this, and it was worth it. Everyone was crying and it was so emotional and bittersweet. I've been a fan of Roger's for so many years and so much of my life has been watching his matches. There will never be another tennis player who is so beloved for all he is and does.
Roger getting chocked up while talking about asking Rafa to play dubs with him is so amazing. I think I big a reason why fans adore Roger isn’t so much about his records or even his game. It’s the emotions he showed whether he won or lost without pride. He’d cry when he won, he’d cry when he lost without any shame. He was the epitome of a sport that, just like any other, is full of hyper masculinity. Being tough and self assured is the standard. He would be vulnerable in the eyes of millions and not for a minute care about his image as a man. And that endeared him to so many and not once did anyone think less of him as a male athlete. I think every male athlete should look to him as an example of a peRFect competitor.
Very well said! I think one of the reasons his fans love Federer so much is his lack of ego. A lot of his detractors see his surface-level elegance and manners and label him as stuck up; but he's so much more than the impression people first see. I think Federer, for all his class and style, is a genuine person who cares less about how he looks and more about who he is, the difference he can make, what he can achieve and how his actions effect others. He actually has a great sense of humour and isn't afraid to look a little silly at times; he expresses what he feels as he feels it, is diplomatic and polite because he wants to be no because it suits his image, makes an effort to give back to charity and express his gratitude to his fans when no one would blame him for skipping those things so he can spend all his time soaking up his success. All the things we admire about him - the grace, humility, generosity - are not a carefully created persona, but just the biproducts of him being intrinsically who he is - or at least the best version of himself he can be, which is what he always gives to his fans, everyone on the tennis tour, and even his rivals.
@@sleepyjoe9267 well, he still has the record of being voted the ATP Fan Favourite for 19 successive years since 2003; and has won a record number (13) of Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Awards, voted for by the players and given to one who has conducted himself at the highest level of professionalism and integrity throughout the year. I have the feeling those two records will mean more to Federer than any others in his career! Still, he also apparently holds records for most Grand Slam semi-finals (46) and quarter-finals (58). Not bad for a player whose only accolade for the first 5 years of his pro career was 'most talented player to not have a GS' and was already thrilled with his career achievements after winning just one Wimbledon ;P
So lucky to have seen Roger play three times. And that he was generous to give us a very special signed photo to my mom (one of his biggest fans). Watching him play literally helped my mom cope with the passing of my father, and gave us so many special family moments together. I will never forget the look of sheer joy on her face when she actually got to see him play in person. Thank you Roger. And thank you Noah!
@@criticsatlarge0073 Well said. I'm not British but it seems that the British media is generally as backwards as their monarchy. Harry might be more controversial but like Roger authentic and progressive
I just keep imagining if this was on Jimmy Fallon, he would be laughing non-stop, yelling, banging his hand on the desk. Such a different atmosphere lol
Roger Federer is just a force to reckon with! It's hard to imagine this level of humility and this much achievement/fame living in the same body! He'd always be loved! Always!
Such a sweet casual talk show with RF . Lesson in humility for all of us. Am not sure if I would have behaved the way RF did with the guard at Wimbledon! I guess that’s what makes him so great . Lesson learnt Sir ! 💐💐💐🙏🏼
That Wimbledon security guard story is hilarious. If that could happen to somebody like Roger Federer and did not take any offense from it, who are we to make any fuss if it happens to us? What a great man!
Roger is one of those players you never get tired of watching, straight sets or tie breaker his intensity and fluidity was magical. I wish him and his family happiness and health.
Humility...i mean everything Roger says from the word go, is just oozing of this quality. Such simplicity. Enjoying the moment, enjoying the game is another beautiful quality he talks of. Real sportsmen have these qualities i guess, you become larger than life.
I can watch these guys speak for hours...When panel discussions can last for hours why are these interviews too short...Too short to capture even a glimpse of greatness of this man...
Pure class. Somehow forgot to check on him for a long time since his retirement but every appearance is just so well planned and delivered. The guy's a natural.
In terms of his incredible abilities and skills, legendary records, inspirational positive attitude, personality, professionalism, and his on and off court behaviour, Roger is surely the greatest sports professional personality of all time!
I've been a fan of Roger for over 20 years! Watched him lift every single one of his 20 grand slam trophies, and I was always left in awe of his talent and grace! I visited Switzerland last year and the country is just as perfect as Roger is :-) Tennis will never be the same without Roger Federer!
He is the biggest inspiration for me, I've been supporting/watching him since Wimbledon 2001 when he beat Sampras. I have lived and died every match ever since, I have loved Roger for 20 plus years. I wish him and his lovely family all the love and best in this world. #RForever
As a single mother in rural newengland and a lifelong tennis nut, i cant ever thank roger enough for helping me to raise such a wonderful human being b the ultimate exampleof someone so classy yet genuine, and down to earth, so wholesomeI , respectful but a fierce competitor , I taught my son to play- kept it fun and eventually we were driving all over new england to tournaments every weekend. Having roger as a role model( my son was born in 1997) was priceless and he is who he is today in no small part because of the impact of roger in our lives. Driving home from a tournament after a painful loss, i always had a tidbit or story a bout roger to tell him and learn from this exemplary human and athlete. Many people do not know for example that roger,s equanimity is an achievement- as a teen he was crying and throwing his racket with the “ best” of them but he found a way to cope with and learn from failure and disappointment and beyond that to enjoy every aspect of his life, such a truly joyous, happy hardworking and considerate human being and he was in this way so important to us as a role model; an athlete who actually deserved that title unlike many others who are excelling on the field only . Then in 2008 along came Obama the other great public figure who we were so grateful to have in our lives for his grace and humanity but thank you roger for the ecstasy of watching you play that we were so privileged to enjoy for too few years ( never enough!,!)and for your humanity, we owe you so much, cant imagine what our lives, rich as they are, would have been without you.
All ok until you mentioned Obama which is nothing like Federer. Obama is a politician who just cashed in millions by being one and not making a difference for humanity.
What you said of your son that he is who he is today in no small part because of the impact of Roger in your lives, that's me too. I'm around your son's age and I can definitely say that Roger Federer raised me almost as much as my closest family members did. The emotion, the humility, the drive to chase your dreams, the gratitude, the kindness, the intelligence, the thinking of others in every situation and then also never losing the childlike joy and the fun in this life, is just a small trickle of lessons we can all learn from this man. For someone growing up during the times of Roger Federer's prime and post-prime years, I can confidently say I could have never had a better celebrity role model to shape and influence my personality throughout my childhood and adolescent years. I love him, I thank him, and I admire him immensely.
There will never be another Federer in tennis. He was and will always be one of the greatest ambassadors for the sport. He had an aura about him on court and made the sport look way too easy for all of us watching at home-that was until we stepped on court for ourselves and tried to swing at a few! I was definitely a victim of the Fed effect!
I was writing some words, but why repeat what millions think and said about this extraordinary athlete and human being. I am 70 years old and this is the guy I followed religiously during the last 20 years. I can't tell I am the number 1 fan of Roger because there are maybe thousands that are "worse" than me" , but I I will be quite close. Thks Roger and thks to Trevor to show us its greatness in simple words.
So proud to be Swiss, to have such an amazing, classy and humble person Like RF, TO BE ONE OF THE GREATEST SPORTMAN IN THE TENNIS CIRCUIT. Bravo Roger...HOP SCHWEIZ!
He is still the same man from 2003, when I first watched him, until today that he's already retired. I hope he do more interviews in the future. Always the funny guy and great legend of Tennis. Love this!
The story of him not wanting to brag about his records to get into the Wimbledon compound just resonates with me so much. When I was in my 20s I used to work for the son of a Billionaire, and the family had businesses and schools all across the UK. Once we were entering one of their family schools and the receptionist asked politely who we were (in order to get through the entrance) and without a hesitation, my boss said "I'm Michael A*******, my name is on the building". And although it was on the hand, slightly comical, I remember the receptionist was very put off for his brashness. A lit of humbleness goes a long way in life.
I flew on a Thurday evening from U.S., arrive in London the next morning, went directly to O2, saw Him one playing one more time at Laver Cup and flew back home. I still believe it was dream. You impacted our lives tremendously, I owe you the great college tennis experience of my son and so many wonderful memories watching you practicing and playing in Cincy, every year from 2006. There were times you were practicing early morning, there was nobody else there, I closed my eyes just to listen how you were dancing on the clouds. Thank you Roger, you've been amazing all these years, you will always be.
Did you get tiks before he announced his retirement? I was thinking about doing the same thing but figured even getting a ticket off a scalper would have been impossble. All hail the KING!
I don't even watch tennis much, but I remember I was supposed to be packing for a trip and got caught up in watching that epic match between him and Rafa that just went on forever
My only wish is that their ages had been reversed. Novak 41 and Roger 35. No malice towards Novak bc I think he's a brilliant player and will overtake Roger in Grand Slams (well, he already has) but Roger has been such an incredible ambassador for tennis. The best ever. It would've been amazing for tennis to finish with someone like him bc there never will be another Big3 like Roger, Rafa and Novak. Technology has changed tennis and distracts young player's focus and attention to the point where 3 future players of the same era will never win 20+ Grand Slams ever again. IMHO.
I'm fully convinced that the guests for the past couple of weeks and now - they're just a list of people that Trevor loves and/or are his most wanted guests, like Roger here, OBAMA, etc. It's funny to see, but also nice to see. Sad to see Trevvie go 😭.
Trevor is half Suisse ;) and I hoped to this day he would have Roger on the show. Couldn't believe my eyes when this popped up in my feed. Dankeschön Trevor
@@tyronevaldez-kruger5313 As a South African these two guys are also some of my favorite people, not only because both share South African roots, but for the human beings they are.
He is by no small measure, at least in my eyes, the Greatest. I watched tennis only because of him and the Williams sisters, and I fell in love with his style of playing, especially that wicked cool backhand. Doesn't matter if he doesn't have the most slams. His impact matters to me more.
Yeah impact. Anna Kournikova inspired a whole generation of female tennis players despite never won a single title. That's certainly the legacy Federer carries in men's tennis. A loser loved by many.
I adore Roger Federer! I've been watching him since when I was 7 years old. One of my greatest fulfillment in life was flying to London to watch you play your last match at Laver Cup 2022. It was a surreal moment, and thank you for the class act of sportsmanship you portrayed for over 2 decades. There'll be no one like Roger, Ever!
Roger Federer, the man of quality and skill. Committed sportsman to the game he represents. Forget how many grandslams he got, but his appearance in the court was a inspiration for the spectators . Thank you GOAT.❤🥰🥰🥰🥰
One of the greatest sportsmen the world has ever seen. This man's class, discipline, grace, competitiveness, humility off the field are all traits young sportsmen need to emulate.
Loved watching this man ever since 1998 when he played on grass for the first time at my home club here in the UK. Fast forward to 2022 balling my eyes out in London watching him for the final time was so intense. Forever my inspiration and idol. If you ever got to watch him play live there was always this weird energy in the stadium you could feel all eyes were on him, fans were waiting for the moment he would create a bit of magic and win or lose he'd always deliver.
Never heard him talk.. I never watched any tennis game.. I see him in couple seconds here and there.. am familiar to his face only and what he does.. but this one interview show me like I knew him and he amazing and polite and humble person.. like I already known him before
Not a day goes by that I don't watch some old match of Roger's. I can happily watch him everyday. Lifts my mood. This interview with Trevor was one of the best. You can't help laughing along with Roger. He's that kind of a guy.
I haven't seen Roger since he retired, I click on this video and now I'm crying. Man, what's with this guy. It feels like we're friends even though we've never met.
Miss you Roger . . . you have always been an inspiration and emotion for everyone in and out of the sports world. loved watching your games throughout. I am glad to be alive at the times of you and Rafa and Djokovic.
The first time I saw Roger play was against Sampras at Wimbledon when Roger won as a teenager (the only time those two icons played each other). Over the many years since then I’ve seen him play more times than I can count and, even though there are numerous YT videos of Roger’s matches, the way Roger played still has me wanting to see more of his genius. For me, it wasn’t whether Roger won or lost or how many titles or records he held, but rather, it was the beautiful elegance and seemingly effortless way he played the game that was like literally watching poetry in motion. I had never before seen anybody play tennis like Roger and I have not seen anybody play like Roger since and I may not ever see another player play with the beauty and elegance that Roger put forth on a tennis court. Watching Roger play was like the feeling I get viewing a masterpiece of art at the Met, as Roger’s game was pure artistry in motion. Rafa & Novak may have won more Grand Slam titles and there will probably be future champions who also win more Slams, but there is nobody who has ever played with the beauty & artistry as Roger has played. Whether or not Roger is better than any player now or in the past is wholly itrelevant and highly subjective at best, as I simply marvel at the artistry of Roger’s game, which is a game I have never seen outside of Roger’s artistry. I am simply extremely fortunate to have been able to witness the beauty of Roger’s game over the entire span of his career. Thank You, Roger, for giving the gift of your beautiful game.
It's pretty cool that they have the same lineage, 1/2 South African and 1/2 Swiss. Federer's backhand is so ballet-like. I loved watching him play. So happy for him and Mirka. And, of course, for the kids.
I am a huge fan of Roger Federer. I would definitely miss his graceful moves on the court but I am also happy that he is focusing on his family now. Trevor thank you for doing this interview. You did an excellent job. More power to both of you.
Being an emotional person sport has made me cry a few times but never quite so emphatically as on the night he retired. I literally wept all throughout the ceremony. Federer ♥️
Oh! my favorite sports guy! Lots of love from Sri Lanka. We would love to see you here in Sri Lanka. You are just not about sports only but about a beautiful human. Thank you
REading the Federer Biography right now. He was my favourite player since the mid 2000s and I miss those days. Looking forward to the future with Alcaraz, Sinner and some of the other young guys but nothing will compare to the mid 2000s when Federer dominated.
I've never been a die-hard tennis fan but I did stay up to watch to Australian Open matches of this gentleman and I'm from Uruguay, we're like 14 hours earlier than Australia. The world of sports is a bet sadder without him.
He's basically interviewing his favorite people that somehow have a topical reason to be there, but I agree it's fantastic. Honestly, I hope Netflix convinces him to do an interview show or something like what Letterman did (does? I don't know if it's still going but even if he takes over when Letterman's done)
What a wonderful, beautiful person Roger is, I could listen to him all day long and just smile from ear to ear! Love his Wimbledon story in this, very funny!! We miss you playing already, Roger, please keep being around 😍💖
I had the pleasure of meeting Roger in Paris, such a down to earth person. The few hours afforded to be able to enjoy this guy's company is something I will never ever forget.
How do you define humbleness? Watch Roger Federer interviews. 🐐 👑❤️ Probably the best ever athlete in the history of any game. Down to earth, Honest, Humble and the list goes on. A career spanning 20+ incredible years staying on top of the game, no controversies, an icon for the coming generations. Just impeccable.
I had the fortune to attend a final at Miami between Roger and Rafa . 5 sets Roger was down 2 sets and then Roger was Roger. Will never forget that day, that game and the GOAT and the Goat.
Love this man! Legend on and off the courts! I am so happy that my father was alive to see Fed (his favorite athlete of all time) win every one of his Slams. Fed was our favorite topic to chat about and some of the greatest memories of my father and I were watching his matches. My late dad would have also loved this interview. Thank you, Federer, for all the happiness you brought to our family and countless others around the world! ♥️
Love this interviewer. He comes as close to being respectful without being worshipful as you can get. He makes sure to ask Roger plenty of questions that forces hims to recount the many contributions that others made towards his success and handles the whole interview in such a way that it is memorable for all including Roger himself.
When Federer's last match was just done, the commentator spoke all of the fans' hearts by saying, "He did not invent the game but at times it felt as if he had." Thank you Roger and Trevor for such an amazing interview! ❤️❤️❤️

Roger is such a humble guy and that just makes him loved by many fans. Once he came to a restaurant where I work - during covid where we all have to show our certificate and ID to be checked in. There was a girl who was checking ID and we were all wearing a mask.

He was rejected from entering the Wimbledon during off season and he didn't make a big deal and that's roger ❤
I like both Federer and Nadal. When they play against each other, I root for the both of them. LOL. 😄
Roger’s parents clearly raised him very well, instilling in him Humility.
True. Meet him once in australia. He’s like to smile and wave to fans. Such a humble man.

They never pushed him he was completely self driven and in his youth when he behaved badly they would not have thought twice about taking him out of the game - they always valued decency over winning - yep he had great parents
I once saw Sampras playing serve volley game, thinking it could not be matched by anyone. A year or so later up comes this young man, playing the most beautifull game of tennis, with wich he has graced us all in astonishement, jaw dropping style of play. Federer the GOAT of tennis!!!
I couldn't stop Smiling through out the video 😌 Roger is just an amazing human being.
I've had the great fortune of meeting Roger Federer twice and I can tell you he's every bit as genuine, humble and affable when conversing with a single stranger as he is on camera with millions watching - he's real. And for nearly 300 weeks - covering 2004-2009 and most of 2017 - he played a level of tennis no one else has matched. Rafa and Novak are breaking his records in their way - and it is great to see how happy Roger is for them (as we all should be) - but even they will tell you: Federer's peak tennis was like no one else.
That's true. Met him in Stuttgart 2018 at the mercedes cup, so much patience for the fans, always polite and very down to earth
His peak tennis is beaten by Djokovic and Nadal like no one else. That's for sure.
@@keithwatson7434 Nope. That’s all.
@@amitkar5316 Exactly. A loser to Djokovic and Nadal. That's all. Thank you for agreeing.
@@keithwatson7434 Funny: there's always one anti-Federer person who cannot just accept the fact that Federer will always be more popular, better appreciated and highly regarded than he'd like. The rest of us - who are actual tennis fans - can appreciate him while appreciating the others. You're pathetic.
Roger choked up talking about telling rafa. They keep melting my heart❤
😏
I noticed that, too.
and South Africa funny enough
That story of him going to Wimbledon had me rolling on the floor 🤣🤣🤣 “please I won this tournament 8 times 🥺” 🤣🤣🤣 Not only do I enjoy seeing him play on courts, but I always love listening to him talk during interviews! Classy and down to earth, as usual!! ❤ Also, I can’t believe it’s the end of an era for Roger and tennis AND also for Trevor and the daily show! That’s the best wrap up interview we could ever have!! 👏🏻
and he lost three finals vs the GOAT...
@@votdfak you are funny 🤣
the same happened to nadal in rolland garros💀 it is even on video
Classiest athlete ever and there will never be another Roger Federer in tennis. If he was on you had to watch, because he made the sport both incredibly athletic and beautiful at the same time. He's beloved because of his humility and self-awareness.
Two of my favourite people of all time. Wholesome, honest and decent people. The world needs more people of integrity and stature like them.
Exactly
And two of the most beautiful smiles!
“You’re a Great Ambassador for human beings” the best of compliments, Great interview!
I was lucky enough to be at the Laver Cup for that last match playing doubles with Nadal. I flew 8,000 miles to London just for this, and it was worth it. Everyone was crying and it was so emotional and bittersweet. I've been a fan of Roger's for so many years and so much of my life has been watching his matches. There will never be another tennis player who is so beloved for all he is and does.
Watching that match was one of the best things I’ve seen in my life, can’t imagine being there!! ❤️
Best moment of my life to be there
Watching on TV was emotional watching them fall short
Lucky lucky you.
That’s so cool you got to be there!
Roger getting chocked up while talking about asking Rafa to play dubs with him is so amazing. I think I big a reason why fans adore Roger isn’t so much about his records or even his game. It’s the emotions he showed whether he won or lost without pride. He’d cry when he won, he’d cry when he lost without any shame. He was the epitome of a sport that, just like any other, is full of hyper masculinity. Being tough and self assured is the standard. He would be vulnerable in the eyes of millions and not for a minute care about his image as a man. And that endeared him to so many and not once did anyone think less of him as a male athlete. I think every male athlete should look to him as an example of a peRFect competitor.
Very well written 😀
Very well said!
I think one of the reasons his fans love Federer so much is his lack of ego. A lot of his detractors see his surface-level elegance and manners and label him as stuck up; but he's so much more than the impression people first see. I think Federer, for all his class and style, is a genuine person who cares less about how he looks and more about who he is, the difference he can make, what he can achieve and how his actions effect others. He actually has a great sense of humour and isn't afraid to look a little silly at times; he expresses what he feels as he feels it, is diplomatic and polite because he wants to be no because it suits his image, makes an effort to give back to charity and express his gratitude to his fans when no one would blame him for skipping those things so he can spend all his time soaking up his success. All the things we admire about him - the grace, humility, generosity - are not a carefully created persona, but just the biproducts of him being intrinsically who he is - or at least the best version of himself he can be, which is what he always gives to his fans, everyone on the tennis tour, and even his rivals.
Federer has zero records left to his name.
@@sleepyjoe9267 He had them all once. Fair enough.
@@sleepyjoe9267 well, he still has the record of being voted the ATP Fan Favourite for 19 successive years since 2003; and has won a record number (13) of Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Awards, voted for by the players and given to one who has conducted himself at the highest level of professionalism and integrity throughout the year. I have the feeling those two records will mean more to Federer than any others in his career!
Still, he also apparently holds records for most Grand Slam semi-finals (46) and quarter-finals (58). Not bad for a player whose only accolade for the first 5 years of his pro career was 'most talented player to not have a GS' and was already thrilled with his career achievements after winning just one Wimbledon ;P
So lucky to have seen Roger play three times. And that he was generous to give us a very special signed photo to my mom (one of his biggest fans). Watching him play literally helped my mom cope with the passing of my father, and gave us so many special family moments together. I will never forget the look of sheer joy on her face when she actually got to see him play in person. Thank you Roger. And thank you Noah!
He played more than 3 times! And who is Noah?!
He smiles throughout the whole show and that is what I love about him.
Real swiss guys always smiles like that
Trevor did the perfect ending by saying "you're a great ambassador for human beings" 💖
Coming from Trevor Noah, that probably means Federer has done some inhumanly cruel things, particularly to children.
Can't agree more. Love him.
@@sharonxia6694 double championship point
A great ambassador for human being. I think this is the most fitting description of Roger Federer
*Loses*
*Says opponent gave up and hit a lucky shot which allowed him to win*
@@moonshine8255 just explaining what Federer said
Such a wholesome human being. I've never spent this long watching him, let alone hearing him speak. He is so refreshing to listen to.
At last a talkshow where everything isn't staged and the conversation is natural
That's really great
This is why I like Prince Harry. The rest of the British Monarchy is a joke. Harry and Federer forever
@@criticsatlarge0073 Well said. I'm not British but it seems that the British media is generally as backwards as their monarchy. Harry might be more controversial but like Roger authentic and progressive
I just keep imagining if this was on Jimmy Fallon, he would be laughing non-stop, yelling, banging his hand on the desk. Such a different atmosphere lol
He was my inspiration in my late 20s, I almost gave up on tennis last year but now am getting a coaching license.
Roger Federer is just a force to reckon with! It's hard to imagine this level of humility and this much achievement/fame living in the same body! He'd always be loved! Always!
Exactly... he is very humble n fun human being. Amazing
He's like Messi in that way.
9:12 Roger almost cried when talking about calling his great rival and friend Rafa. Love you Roger❤
Only about to start watching, but I already know this interview's going to be phenomenal
Don't speak
Such a sweet casual talk show with RF . Lesson in humility for all of us. Am not sure if I would have behaved the way RF did with the guard at Wimbledon! I guess that’s what makes him so great . Lesson learnt Sir ! 💐💐💐🙏🏼
That Wimbledon security guard story is hilarious. If that could happen to somebody like Roger Federer and did not take any offense from it, who are we to make any fuss if it happens to us? What a great man!
By far my favorite moment on the Daily Show
Roger is "class" personified...
Roger is one of those players you never get tired of watching, straight sets or tie breaker his intensity and fluidity was magical. I wish him and his family happiness and health.
He reminds of that song "Smooth Operator" by Sade. Does anyone remember that song?
amazing how the guest‘s not getting interrupted and is able to speak freely - so rare with US interviews..
Humility...i mean everything Roger says from the word go, is just oozing of this quality. Such simplicity. Enjoying the moment, enjoying the game is another beautiful quality he talks of.
Real sportsmen have these qualities i guess, you become larger than life.
He is in his own class. What an intelligent, eloquent man! He knows his worth, but he is still humble - a very rare quality nowadays.
In 2003 he had me watching tennis..and imagine being able to watch him in 2022 ...and he was still great..
I can watch these guys speak for hours...When panel discussions can last for hours why are these interviews too short...Too short to capture even a glimpse of greatness of this man...
Pure class. Somehow forgot to check on him for a long time since his retirement but every appearance is just so well planned and delivered. The guy's a natural.
In terms of his incredible abilities and skills, legendary records, inspirational positive attitude, personality, professionalism, and his on and off court behaviour, Roger is surely the greatest sports professional personality of all time!
Man Trevor is getting some legendary interviews on his way out.
I missed something. Where is Trevor going?
@@clubbizarre leaving the show soon ...
@@clubbizarre tomorrow is last show
Oh no 😢
@@LindaC616 I missed that too. And then? What's next?
Amazing athlete and humble personality - so proud to have such a legend in Switzerland 🏆🎾
I've been a fan of Roger for over 20 years! Watched him lift every single one of his 20 grand slam trophies, and I was always left in awe of his talent and grace! I visited Switzerland last year and the country is just as perfect as Roger is :-) Tennis will never be the same without Roger Federer!
He is the biggest inspiration for me, I've been supporting/watching him since Wimbledon 2001 when he beat Sampras. I have lived and died every match ever since, I have loved Roger for 20 plus years. I wish him and his lovely family all the love and best in this world. #RForever
i'm not gonna lie, I cried when he talk about the last match with Rafa. Amazing interview, love how smooth is was. Roger forever the best ❤
Two of Switzerlands finest. 🇨🇭
Both with Swiss-German dads and South African mums.
Two of South Africa's finests🇿🇦
@@ochrechapbruuu😍😍😍👌👌
As a single mother in rural newengland and a lifelong tennis nut, i cant ever thank roger enough for helping me to raise such a wonderful human being b the ultimate exampleof someone so classy yet genuine, and down to earth, so wholesomeI , respectful but a fierce competitor , I taught my son to play- kept it fun and eventually we were driving all over new england to tournaments every weekend. Having roger as a role model( my son was born in 1997) was priceless and he is who he is today in no small part because of the impact of roger in our lives. Driving home from a tournament after a painful loss, i always had a tidbit or story a bout roger to tell him and learn from this exemplary human and athlete. Many people do not know for example that roger,s equanimity is an achievement- as a teen he was crying and throwing his racket with the “ best” of them but he found a way to cope with and learn from failure and disappointment and beyond that to enjoy every aspect of his life, such a truly joyous, happy hardworking and considerate human being and he was in this way so important to us as a role model; an athlete who actually deserved that title unlike many others who are excelling on the field only . Then in 2008 along came Obama the other great public figure who we were so grateful to have in our lives for his grace and humanity but thank you roger for the ecstasy of watching you play that we were so privileged to enjoy for too few years ( never enough!,!)and for your humanity, we owe you so much, cant imagine what our lives, rich as they are, would have been without you.
You are raising a great man ma'am!
I hope Roger and Barack can see this message 🙏🏻 ❤
All ok until you mentioned Obama which is nothing like Federer. Obama is a politician who just cashed in millions by being one and not making a difference for humanity.
Well said axel. Roger has had such a positive impact on more people than he could ever imagine.
What you said of your son that he is who he is today in no small part because of the impact of Roger in your lives, that's me too. I'm around your son's age and I can definitely say that Roger Federer raised me almost as much as my closest family members did. The emotion, the humility, the drive to chase your dreams, the gratitude, the kindness, the intelligence, the thinking of others in every situation and then also never losing the childlike joy and the fun in this life, is just a small trickle of lessons we can all learn from this man. For someone growing up during the times of Roger Federer's prime and post-prime years, I can confidently say I could have never had a better celebrity role model to shape and influence my personality throughout my childhood and adolescent years. I love him, I thank him, and I admire him immensely.
There will never be another Federer in tennis. He was and will always be one of the greatest ambassadors for the sport. He had an aura about him on court and made the sport look way too easy for all of us watching at home-that was until we stepped on court for ourselves and tried to swing at a few! I was definitely a victim of the Fed effect!
Because his mother give birth to him alone.
@@jacquelineotto4148 what do you mean by this? Born on his own but he has a sister.
i know i am also the victim during my first swing in 2010...
I was writing some words, but why repeat what millions think and said about this extraordinary athlete and human being. I am 70 years old and this is the guy I followed religiously during the last 20 years. I can't tell I am the number 1 fan of Roger because there are maybe thousands that are "worse" than me" , but I I will be quite close. Thks Roger and thks to Trevor to show us its greatness in simple words.
So proud to be Swiss, to have such an amazing, classy and humble person Like RF, TO BE ONE OF THE GREATEST SPORTMAN IN THE TENNIS CIRCUIT. Bravo Roger...HOP SCHWEIZ!
Props to the guard lady for not letting ANYONE enter without a membership card!😂🤣
And props to him for not asking her to google him, lol. I know I would've.
She needs a raise haha.
@@zeroelus she doesn't. the membership card is a way to identify a person, federer, obviously, at wimbledon, doesn't need to have it with him..
it's just strange she, that works at Wimbledon, doesn't know him.
When I go to Wimbledon, I’m going to say exactly as Roger did “I’ve won here 8 times, I am a member.”
He is still the same man from 2003, when I first watched him, until today that he's already retired. I hope he do more interviews in the future. Always the funny guy and great legend of Tennis. Love this!
9:13 Federer got choked up and then I did too.
Great interview and I'm still in shock his career is over.
Still doesn't feel real does it? I know I saw it and I know what it means but come Wimbledon next year it's gonna be weird.
The story of him not wanting to brag about his records to get into the Wimbledon compound just resonates with me so much. When I was in my 20s I used to work for the son of a Billionaire, and the family had businesses and schools all across the UK. Once we were entering one of their family schools and the receptionist asked politely who we were (in order to get through the entrance) and without a hesitation, my boss said "I'm Michael A*******, my name is on the building". And although it was on the hand, slightly comical, I remember the receptionist was very put off for his brashness. A lit of humbleness goes a long way in life.
I flew on a Thurday evening from U.S., arrive in London the next morning, went directly to O2, saw Him one playing one more time at Laver Cup and flew back home. I still believe it was dream. You impacted our lives tremendously, I owe you the great college tennis experience of my son and so many wonderful memories watching you practicing and playing in Cincy, every year from 2006. There were times you were practicing early morning, there was nobody else there, I closed my eyes just to listen how you were dancing on the clouds. Thank you Roger, you've been amazing all these years, you will always be.
Did you get tiks before he announced his retirement? I was thinking about doing the same thing but figured even getting a ticket off a scalper would have been impossble.
All hail the KING!
We've been lucky to witness a golden age of tennis with him Nadal and Djokovic
I don't even watch tennis much, but I remember I was supposed to be packing for a trip and got caught up in watching that epic match between him and Rafa that just went on forever
My only wish is that their ages had been reversed. Novak 41 and Roger 35. No malice towards Novak bc I think he's a brilliant player and will overtake Roger in Grand Slams (well, he already has) but Roger has been such an incredible ambassador for tennis. The best ever. It would've been amazing for tennis to finish with someone like him bc there never will be another Big3 like Roger, Rafa and Novak. Technology has changed tennis and distracts young player's focus and attention to the point where 3 future players of the same era will never win 20+ Grand Slams ever again. IMHO.
I'm glad Novak is the one that's 35
I'm fully convinced that the guests for the past couple of weeks and now - they're just a list of people that Trevor loves and/or are his most wanted guests, like Roger here, OBAMA, etc.
It's funny to see, but also nice to see. Sad to see Trevvie go 😭.
@@seattlerain4809 tomorrow is the last one
Trevor is half Suisse ;) and I hoped to this day he would have Roger on the show. Couldn't believe my eyes when this popped up in my feed. Dankeschön Trevor
@@LindaC616 WHAT? REALLY???? SO SOON? 😭 I didn't know...
@@tyronevaldez-kruger5313 As a South African these two guys are also some of my favorite people, not only because both share South African roots, but for the human beings they are.
@BlakieTT yes, I only found out in the comments on this episode, because I don't have cable tv. Tonight's will be the last. 😔
He is by no small measure, at least in my eyes, the Greatest.
I watched tennis only because of him and the Williams sisters, and I fell in love with his style of playing, especially that wicked cool backhand.
Doesn't matter if he doesn't have the most slams. His impact matters to me more.
Federer’s backhand is the sweetest one on the court. Will miss him and Trevor. ✌🏾❤️🙏🏾
Yeah impact. Anna Kournikova inspired a whole generation of female tennis players despite never won a single title. That's certainly the legacy Federer carries in men's tennis. A loser loved by many.
@@keithwatson7434 a... loser? You are out of your mind.
I adore Roger Federer! I've been watching him since when I was 7 years old. One of my greatest fulfillment in life was flying to London to watch you play your last match at Laver Cup 2022. It was a surreal moment, and thank you for the class act of sportsmanship you portrayed for over 2 decades. There'll be no one like Roger, Ever!
Roger Federer, the man of quality and skill. Committed sportsman to the game he represents. Forget how many grandslams he got, but his appearance in the court was a inspiration for the spectators . Thank you GOAT.❤🥰🥰🥰🥰
One of the greatest sportsmen the world has ever seen. This man's class, discipline, grace, competitiveness, humility off the field are all traits young sportsmen need to emulate.
One of the greatest ATHLETES of all time. Not just Tennis players.
Siuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Loved watching this man ever since 1998 when he played on grass for the first time at my home club here in the UK. Fast forward to 2022 balling my eyes out in London watching him for the final time was so intense. Forever my inspiration and idol. If you ever got to watch him play live there was always this weird energy in the stadium you could feel all eyes were on him, fans were waiting for the moment he would create a bit of magic and win or lose he'd always deliver.
He's all class. What an ambassador. What a role model.
This is the sweetest and genuine interview from Noah and Roger. Love! Love it!
Can't imagine someone don't like this legend, that's what unique about him. We love you Roger
Novak better
Never heard him talk.. I never watched any tennis game.. I see him in couple seconds here and there.. am familiar to his face only and what he does.. but this one interview show me like I knew him and he amazing and polite and humble person.. like I already known him before
I'm gonna miss both of them. Man I loved watching Roger play. I'll still get to go to Trevor's stand-up but I'll have to watch re-runs of Roger.
Not a day goes by that I don't watch some old match of Roger's. I can happily watch him everyday. Lifts my mood. This interview with Trevor was one of the best. You can't help laughing along with Roger. He's that kind of a guy.
I haven't seen Roger since he retired, I click on this video and now I'm crying. Man, what's with this guy. It feels like we're friends even though we've never met.
Miss you Roger . . . you have always been an inspiration and emotion for everyone in and out of the sports world. loved watching your games throughout. I am glad to be alive at the times of you and Rafa and Djokovic.
Awesome interview. Best interview I’ve seen Trevor Noah do. Federer is unique in that he’s wildly charismatic without trying to be at all.
agreed
The first time I saw Roger play was against Sampras at Wimbledon when Roger won as a teenager (the only time those two icons played each other). Over the many years since then I’ve seen him play more times than I can count and, even though there are numerous YT videos of Roger’s matches, the way Roger played still has me wanting to see more of his genius. For me, it wasn’t whether Roger won or lost or how many titles or records he held, but rather, it was the beautiful elegance and seemingly effortless way he played the game that was like literally watching poetry in motion. I had never before seen anybody play tennis like Roger and I have not seen anybody play like Roger since and I may not ever see another player play with the beauty and elegance that Roger put forth on a tennis court. Watching Roger play was like the feeling I get viewing a masterpiece of art at the Met, as Roger’s game was pure artistry in motion. Rafa & Novak may have won more Grand Slam titles and there will probably be future champions who also win more Slams, but there is nobody who has ever played with the beauty & artistry as Roger has played. Whether or not Roger is better than any player now or in the past is wholly itrelevant and highly subjective at best, as I simply marvel at the artistry of Roger’s game, which is a game I have never seen outside of Roger’s artistry. I am simply extremely fortunate to have been able to witness the beauty of Roger’s game over the entire span of his career. Thank You, Roger, for giving the gift of your beautiful game.
Well said! Baryshnikov on a court
You know, you are also gifted. Not everyone is sensitive to beauty. You are very blessed!
It's pretty cool that they have the same lineage, 1/2 South African and 1/2 Swiss. Federer's backhand is so ballet-like. I loved watching him play. So happy for him and Mirka. And, of course, for the kids.
He is the epitome of Tennis, a gentleman and a great human being.
I am a huge fan of Roger Federer. I would definitely miss his graceful moves on the court but I am also happy that he is focusing on his family now. Trevor thank you for doing this interview. You did an excellent job. More power to both of you.
Being an emotional person sport has made me cry a few times but never quite so emphatically as on the night he retired. I literally wept all throughout the ceremony.
Federer ♥️
Tennis will never be the same without him :(
Me too, crying through the whole thing. 💔
This interview simply made me love these two men more❤️😎❤️❤️ The Humbleness of Roger makes Roger❤️😎
Man the chemistry between this two.... Amazing. I have never seen more genuine interview in my life ❤
Oh! my favorite sports guy! Lots of love from Sri Lanka. We would love to see you here in Sri Lanka. You are just not about sports only but about a beautiful human. Thank you
REading the Federer Biography right now. He was my favourite player since the mid 2000s and I miss those days. Looking forward to the future with Alcaraz, Sinner and some of the other young guys but nothing will compare to the mid 2000s when Federer dominated.
Thank you Trevor for inviting RF for your amazing show. ❤️
I've never been a die-hard tennis fan but I did stay up to watch to Australian Open matches of this gentleman and I'm from Uruguay, we're like 14 hours earlier than Australia. The world of sports is a bet sadder without him.
So happy to see our national treasure in the show 🥰 indeed great ambassador of the human being
brilliant interview indeed. Not just full of talent and achievements in tennis, but what a man: so balanced, driven, humble!
100%
Two of the nicest guys, very well-spoken, humourous, and have a great rapport. Just a pleasure to watch.
Trevor has been on a legendary interviewing run recently! What a way to close out his show
He's basically interviewing his favorite people that somehow have a topical reason to be there, but I agree it's fantastic. Honestly, I hope Netflix convinces him to do an interview show or something like what Letterman did (does? I don't know if it's still going but even if he takes over when Letterman's done)
@KatieGray1 yes, he's invited people who helped him in some way. I think letterman is still going
The kind nature, style and grace that Roger exudes will be missed. What a fantastic conversation with one of the greatest sportsmen of all time.
What a wonderful, beautiful person Roger is, I could listen to him all day long and just smile from ear to ear! Love his Wimbledon story in this, very funny!! We miss you playing already, Roger, please keep being around 😍💖
I had the pleasure of meeting Roger in Paris, such a down to earth person. The few hours afforded to be able to enjoy this guy's company is something I will never ever forget.
How do you define humbleness?
Watch Roger Federer interviews. 🐐 👑❤️
Probably the best ever athlete in the history of any game. Down to earth, Honest, Humble and the list goes on. A career spanning 20+ incredible years staying on top of the game, no controversies, an icon for the coming generations. Just impeccable.
The Tennis GOAT looks so fresh😂😂and handsome 🥰🥰we really going to miss him😊#fan
Yesss!
I had the fortune to attend a final at Miami between Roger and Rafa . 5 sets Roger was down 2 sets and then Roger was Roger. Will never forget that day, that game and the GOAT and the Goat.
5:45 Correction. Rafa came along and got 21 and 22. Then Novak got 21.
Federer could've corrected Trevor but as a classy man himself, he just let it slide.
@@tfimperfectangel I think so too. That mistake required no correction.
Thank . I thought it was just me.
Rafa has 22
Love this man! Legend on and off the courts! I am so happy that my father was alive to see Fed (his favorite athlete of all time) win every one of his Slams. Fed was our favorite topic to chat about and some of the greatest memories of my father and I were watching his matches. My late dad would have also loved this interview. Thank you, Federer, for all the happiness you brought to our family and countless others around the world! ♥️
Love this interviewer. He comes as close to being respectful without being worshipful as you can get.
He makes sure to ask Roger plenty of questions that forces hims to recount the many contributions that others made towards his success and handles the whole interview in such a way that it is memorable for all including Roger himself.
