When I got to know that there is a documentary being filmed on Roger Federer, I was excited. It was going to be released on 20th June 2024 to the public, and I wanted to watch it on the same day, particularly as I was anticipating the day to be tough for other reasons.
As things turned out, the day wasn’t tough and I postponed the decision to watch the documentary. I thought I’d be able to do so before Wimbledon 2024, and started watching. Then the tournament began, I was hoping that #8 remained as the record, and I focused on watching Alcaraz live.
Finally, I completed watching the documentary today.
I was thrilled to see that it is an Asif-Kapadia directed documentary – I loved ‘Senna’ and expected excellence here too. I knew Rafael Nadal would be shown in good light, but didn’t expect the portrayal of Novak Djokovic to be as good. It was a nice touch.
“I am glad to be retiring before all of them”
“I spent time without them on the tour. It is their turn now”
What surprised me is the f-bombs thrown by Federer, and yes Nadal J
IMDB currently rates it at 7.3. I am curious to know what is the reaction of a non-tennis fan to this documentary. There is a bit of history in it, with the Laver era and Borg era getting limelight.
Federer fans, surely watch it.
