Roger Federer responds to Virat Kohli’s special message: Hope to make it to India soon
Tennis great Roger Federer thanked Virat Kohli for sharing a special message following his retirement from competitive tennis and said that he looks forward to coming to India soon. The 20-time Grand Slam singles champion Federer retired from competitive tennis at the 2022 edition of Laver Cup at the O2 Arena, London.
Kohli shared a heartfelt video for Roger Federer to congratulate him on a phenomenal career, saying that he has never seen support and unity for any other individual athlete that Federer got from around the world.
“Thanks @ViratKohli I hope to make it to India soon,” he wrote in his Instagram story.
“Hello Roger, it’s a great honour for me to be able to send this video across for you congratulating you on a phenomenal career that has given us so many beautiful moments and memories,” Kohli said earlier in an official video message posted by ATP.
“I personally had the chance to meet you in the Australian Open in 2018, something that I’ll never ever forget in my life. One thing that stood out for me even watching you play, was the fact that so many people around the world, not just in the world of tennis got behind you, supporting you and that kind of unity I’ve never seen for any other individual athlete ever. That is something that cannot be created, that cannot be generated in any way,” the star batter added.
Kohli further wished tennis great luck with his future endeavours.
“You had that special ability always. It was very evident when we watched you play and the aura you brought on the court is unmatchable. And for me, you’re always going to be the greatest of all time. I’m sure in the next phase of your life you’re going to have as much fun and as much enjoyment as you did on the court. I wish you all the best and your family as well. Take care,” said the former India skipper.
