Federer, the king of the grass court, has made a lasting impression on athletes across all sports, not just Tennis players. The star Indian cricketer Virat Kohli was also impressed with how Nadal and Federer expressed their emotions. He took to social media to write a message for them.

"Who thought rivals can feel like this towards each other. That’s the beauty of sport. This is the most beautiful sporting picture ever for me. When your companions cry for you, you know why you’ve been able to do with your god given talent. Nothing but respect for these 2," he wrote.

When Rafael Nadal mentioned Roger Federer briefly after the game, he became emotional. It was obvious that the Spaniard found it difficult to express his feelings in words. "For me, has been huge honour to be a part of this amazing moment of the history of our sport, and at the same time a lot of years sharing a lot of things together. When Roger leaves the tour, yeah, an important part of my life is leaving too because all the moments he has been next or in front me in important moments of my life. So has been emotional (to) see the family, see all the people. Yeah, difficult to describe. But, yeah, amazing moment," Rafael Nadal said
