"We all hope for a fairytale ending. Here's how mine went:

Lost my last singles.
Lost my last doubles.
Lost my last team event.
Lost my voice during the week.
Lost my job.

But still, my retirement could not have been more peRFect and I'm so happy with how everything went. So don't overthink that perfect ending, yours will always be amazing in your own way," Federer wrote on Instagram.

"Genius… that's why you're the best. Willing to fail over and over on the way to greatness… You've done it all and this parting gesture of losses simply helps us mere mortals!" Bear Grylls commented.
