More details

Did you know that Roger had been planning to attend Taylor Swift's concert and meet her for a few years now? In an interview with People after his retirement in 2022, Roger had said, “We went to a lot of concerts last year. I didn't sing, I just played a little shaker thing. But we also saw [Bruce] Springsteen twice, and Elton John. This summer Taylor Swift is coming to Switzerland so of course we'll go to that, and ACDC too.”

A documentary on Roger Federer, and his decision to retire, titled Twelve Final Days, was recently released on Prime Video.
