The news is out, announced by the principal concerned. We feared it, we apprehended it, we expected it without wanting to believe it, we hoped for a few more matches until the end of the year, but it's now official: Roger Federer is retiring from tennis, at 41 years old. His recalcitrant knee said stop. A few weeks after Serena Williams, it is a second legend of the world tennis who is retiring.
The James Bond of tennis, as Henri affectionately calls him, ends a phenomenal career. He chose to say goodbye in London, during the Laver Cup, his event, surrounded by the biggest names of tennis, with the desire to share this moment that he knows will be very emotional. You don't turn such an important page of his life without a few tears.
There will be a before and after Federer. We'll let the statisticians talk about the records for the umpteenth time, the numbers that are all more unusual than the others. Roger Federer is above all a legend, a person of absolute class, respectful, generous, kind, human, true.
He is a great champion who has brought tennis to a level never before reached, thanks to Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal. Between them they won 63 Grand Slam tournaments, leaving only crumbs to their opponents.
Roger and Rafa have developed a beautiful friendship over the years. The two are so inseparable and have needed each other so much during their careers that Nadal couldn't help but shed a few tears after playing alongside Roger in his final match. As he shook hands so tightly, he was probably wondering how he would handle this new situation: how to play without Federer on the tour?
That is THE question that everyone is asking: Federer irreplaceable, how to remotivate oneself, to try to fill this abyssal void? Henri has told us over and over again: enjoy this extraordinary period that these three champions have made us live through because the rest will be hard! Federer is leaving, Nadal is going to be a father and old (36 years old). Djokovic can still break some records, but who else can create a nice emulation, motivate the troops and give a boost to tennis?
If we can't find an answer to this enigma, let's salute Mr. James Bond Federer once again: thank you for all the fabulous moments that you have made us live during these so many years. Thank you for your generosity, your fair play, your perfect tennis. Thank you for everything Federer. Roger Federer.

The new star Iga Swiatek wins her 2nd Roland Garros at only 21 years old and remains on an impressive streak of 35 consecutive wins! World number 1, she is now the boss of women's tennis.
On the men's side, King Rafael Nadal makes History by winning his 14th French Open! It is an extraordinary feat. With a foot injury, not knowing if and how he was going to play, he inherited a very difficult draw (including an explosive quarter against Novak Djokovic and a very tough half against Sasha Zverev who had to quit after two sets and 3 hours of play). He won the title by beating the Norwegian Casper Ruud, 6th in the world who trained at his academy, in 3 sets.
Kind, generous, humble, Rafa is an immense champion. He, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic have made us live an exceptional period of time that we still don't really realize. Let's enjoy them until the end because their « sporting retirement » is near.
On the French side, we celebrated with great emotion Jo Tsonga and Gilles Simon's goodbyes. Thank you both for your great careers. I wish you all the best for the future.
Congratulations Caroline Garcia and Kristina Mladenovic for this 2nd French Open title in doubles and to Gabriel Debru for your victory in the Juniors. The hardest part begins!
I would also like to warmly thank to all RTL's team which allowed me to make regularly my chronicle « on refait Leconte » at the sides of Isabelle Langé. Thanks to you, I was able to analyze certain aspects that were important to me."
