“The day has been fantastic. Not sad, but cheerful. Being here feels wonderful. I’m relieved to have survived, “added Federer.
Nadal battled to hold back his tears as well. As he sat next to Federer and the two of them watched British singer Ellie Goulding wrap up a fantastic evening with a performance, the 36-year-old Spaniard sobbed bitterly.

Thousands tennis spectators cheered Federer’s name at the O2 Arena in London as he sobbed and hugged Nadal and other athletes. Numerous athletes from all across the world paid tribute to his illustrious and famous career.
