Speaking of Virat Kohli, then he has recently made a comeback in the form of the bat with a swashbuckling century against Afghanistan in the recently-concluded Asia Cup 2022. This century for Kohli came after a long wait of three years and a long poor run of form with the bat.

Now, coming back to Federer, then he wrote an emotional letter to all of his fans, colleagues, and the people he encountered during his career.

“Most of all I have felt incredibly alive. Through my travels, I have met many wonderful people who will remain friends for life, who consistently took time out of their busy schedules to come to watch me play and cheer me on around the globe. Thank you,” wrote Federer while starting his letter.

When my love of tennis started, I was a ball kid in my hometown of Basel. I used to watch the players with a sense of wonder. They were like giants to me and I began to dream. My dreams led me to work harder and I started to believe in myself. Some success brought me confidence and I was on my way to the most amazing, journey that has led to this day,” he added later.
